I am a Fashion Designer, Illustrator and Fashion Educator.
My artwork is of mixed media. I combine unique fabrics, trims, needlepoint and giclee prints with my origins art. Stylized figures and faces capture pronounced images with fashion flare. The color palettes are vivid, bold and comforting. My work is an expression of women’s strength, beauty, resilience and the evocative complexities of the African American experience.
