BLACK PICKETT FENCES
This art is entitled, "Black Pickett Fences." This series is a an on going series celebrating the portrayal of the African American family and our traditions. It's focus is to give viewers a glimpse through the "fences" of the African American home to see how our lives were lived and how the values we learned continue to benefit us.
I will take all cultures on a visual journey back in time to childhood memories, and to simple times, so that we can reminisce together. It will give viewers an awareness and a understanding of how during the seventies and eighties African American House hold upbringing was and allow them to celebrate along with us. Together we will appreciate the history of our music, our food, the value of education and the dedication to our belief system among other things.
At the end of our journey, I hope that all viewers will appreciate their own family traditions and values learned during "the good 'ol days" and know that they are what has helped us as a people to come this far. If we continue to apply them within our own picket fences, we as a people can and will continue to reach further.
This series is ongoing

Holding on to the Spirit
20x30 mixed media on paper
This abstract figure is struggling with societies beliefs and his own soul. Towards the top of the painting you see around his head is a few dark colors and it's almost unclear to see him, but glancing towards the bottom less detail has been applied to reference his body's not anchored. The light he holds in his hand represents the spirit, however the other person within him tries to exit
Momma Crossing
30x48 mixed media on canvas
Here i've chosen to take an abstract approach
to my mother crossing over to the other side.
Here i've committed to using various colors such as violets,golds and some earth tones to create a void. furthermore to best illustrate the loosing of a loved one I've taken the arms and legs from the figure not as to dismember but to show the separation between realms. allow your eyes to pan across the painting you will see areas of light and dark, what tends to stand out is the dark purple tones which symbolizes death and the unknown,However coming from the dark you may also notice that beautiful white light that shines on her face representing a new birth or chapter.
