I enjoy painting yesteryears. It is my goal for the viewer to be taken on a journey of days gone by.
Everyday life of African American people are documented in the images I create. My inspiration comes from
Looking and studying vintage photographs and movies. My conceptual process is referencing black and white
Photographs, creating a sketch and design a painting from the process.
