ABOUT THE ARTIST
I'm a painter, sculptor, and mixed media artist living in the Chicago area. Through both representational and abstract means, my work explores themes of power, vulnerability, beauty, and violence.
WHAT I'M CREATING NOW
Recently a friend commissioned me to do a painting of James Baldwin. I had been wanting to do a portrait of Baldwin since 2018, but I just couldn't get started. Now I feel the pressure of someone's expectation of a finished painting to push me forward.
