My paintings and drawings are an ongoing visual narrative that presents the richness of cultural diversity of all people and present day issues. As I sit and sketch in barbershops, cafes, and other places of communal gathering I am taken by every person I meet. Like Bios and Zoe, we carry the threads of those that came before and weave this into the path today. I am a visual story teller.
