Collage Art

 

It’s tough being a Black man in America. - Michael B. Jordan

The 2020 collage series was a meditation on Black American masculinity and Black male identity. The idea for the series came from reading the above quote in GQ magazine.

Divine within

This (ongoing) series of paint collage work is about the divine thread that connects the self to consciousness.

chakras, Spring 2017

In an effort to make pieces that are accessible, inspiring, and affordable, I released the Chakra Collection at Artomatic 2017 in Crystal City, Virginia. It was well received, and I am excited to continue making monochromatic paintings that connect to our senses. Each painting is acrylic and epoxy resin on 20-inches round, stretched canvas. They were painted simultaneously on a large table in a maximum of three steps per painting.
