​

My works are motivated by the goddess of love in all of her aspects irrespective of race, creed or color. I apply the use of alchemy through the mixtures of paint and printing oils.

​

I enjoy the use of collage and hand-painting as well as the application of gemstones in the work. I use oils of the orit tree (the tree of life) as a basis for the paint mixtures. Gold, silver, copper, and titanium animate images from the canvas to the viewer’s eye.

 

I was born in Needham Massachusetts and raised in Roxbury Massachusetts.  I was privy to seeing the murals that decorated Dudley station and surrounding areas.

​

In 1985 I ran a film production company under the guidance of Robert Tynes and the L’image media Project. I produced For Kid’s Sake a 15-minute segment for Channel 5.  In 1987 I found an intense love of collage art.
