“Butterfly effect”
18X24
This one is for my black men, you are kings. Men are just as important as women. Men need to be told that they are strong, beautiful, smart, and much more. Especially our black men.
“Eternal Sunshine”
18x24
Another painting I did shows the beauty of natural hair. This piece is about realizing your worth and the true beauty that is inside you.
“Broken Wings”
18X24
This piece means so much to me. Taking my hurt and using it to make something beautiful
instead of just staying in those emotions.
“Tree puffs”
14x18
This piece is one of my favorites. The trees resemble afro high puffs. Natural hair can be put
into so many different styles. And I want my paintings to show the beauty of natural hair. I love
to use nature to resemble black hair.
