“I wasn’t always interested in art as a professional pathway until the second year of my undergraduate schooling. I came from a creative family and always loved art but thought I would make a difference in my community with a criminal Justice degree. Once I realized that wasn’ t the correct path for me, I took an introductory art class and fell in love. Aller switching my major to Studio Art, I learned how to paint using oils and quickly realized that I wanted to locus on my experience as a Black woman. I decided that painting in larger scales felt best and ran with it. I love the way that oil paints blend with each other and the vibrancy that can be created…”
