Messing up, changing my mind and starting all over again satisfied by creative
energy. I got lost for hours in the dialogue of mixing color, creation, making meaning
through images and mediation.
My art intentionally created what I have missed in my art loving experience, me! I was
born into a world that never showed me a lovely black, fat angel. I long to see things
that look like me, my people (I love) and my ancestors. This is where it started.
I continue today to address the absence of images that I think are important to the
stories of my life and culture. I am creating now to preserve and share with others
especially my grandchildren what life was like for me growing up. Most of my images
celebrate my spirituality which makes life meaningful for me.
