About Me
I am inspired to make digital abstract art about resilience and transformation. My work looks at what happens after a hard moment — not the moment itself, but what's left standing, what regrows, what changes shape and keeps going.
I work digitally because it lets me build color and texture in layers, the same way healing actually happens — not all at once, but piece by piece, over time. My compositions often combine scorched, cracked textures with bright color and light. That contrast is intentional. It reflects what I believe: that struggle and growth exist in the same frame, and one doesn't cancel out the other.
As a Black woman, I know that survival is rarely loud or visible. It's something you build quietly, over and over. That's what I want my art to honor — not the struggle itself, but the strength it takes to keep building anyway.
My goal is simple: I want people to look at my work and feel less alone in whatever they're rebuilding.

Watch My Work Come to Life: Roots and Wires
The video above is a video explanation of how digital abstract art is created. This is the creation of Roots and Wires unfolding from first stroke to final layer in this 30 second time-lapse video. See how the striped, bark-like columns of gold, rust, and pink emerge beneath the loose white linework, and how the cracked, blackened ground at the base builds up in real time — the digital equivalent of charcoal and ash settling beneath new growth. This piece explores resilience pushing up through scorched terrain, and the time-lapse reveals just how much layering and revision goes into that sense of weathered persistence.
