My work is based on fictional characters and real stories borrowed from Black history books, yet the images—often photographs—are sometimes intertwined with my own life experiences. The computer plays an important role in my process to refine color, composition, and scale. Although details tend to change drastically from screen to canvas, the computer remains the primary and necessary tool for cultivating my ideas and concepts. My work summons the past and looks into the future, and seeks to resolve political and social issues through visual poetry.
