About The Artwork

Being centered means that you have a reference point or place to come back to when life challenges and emotions push you off balance. The center is the place you know you have to gt back to. This piece subtly describes the act of getting back to that reference point. We are experiencing life so things happen that will take you off course mentally. It is important to get back to a balance. To recognize when energy is of and when focus needs to be shifted. . I hope that viewers gain a sense of comfort and calmness. I would also like for viewers to feel centered in while recognizing what is important within themselves. I chose to lightly texture the canvas instead of the heavy application i have done previously. The colors I choose during the process organic. I begin with dark and build up with lighter colors. I did in fact choose to only focus on the center of the canvas. and apply the lighter colors around the focal point in order to bring the eyes to the middle. I chose to use interior and acrylic paint because of its ability to move and blend with each other. I write small words numbers and messages with pencil as well.

ARTIST STATEMENT: My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret freedom, what freedom looks like in all aspects, mentally spiritually and physically. As I evolve and gain more knowledge of self, it directly translates onto the canvas. What aids in my evolution as an artist is the studying of historically black abstract artists such as Mary Lovelace O’Neal, Sam Gilliam, and Al loving. I am on a personal mission beyond influence that derives from my subconscious and my need to create meaningful experiences through abstraction. I intend to use my work to unlock truth and contribute to the conscious movement of Black female artists reshaping my own Black aesthetic within the art world. I am a contemporary abstract artist. I use interior paint, and oil pastels to express my views on identity and culture through expressionism. I use raw non stretched canvas, building color from black and brown tones inspired by all shades of melanin. I incorporate many marks inspired by indigenous cultures. These marks are an expression of the freedom I speak of passed down through genetic code since the dawn of time. Ultimately the shaping of canvas, the use of color tones, and the mark making defines my human experience and tells a story that I am compelled to share with each viewer.
