LONG NECK SERIES
"the blue people"
I want to make blue feel good because it makes me feel good — after all, it’s royal.
​
This ongoing series serves as the foundation for my first solo exhibition. The color blue is symbolic — my literal interpretation of the phrase “people of color.” Through this work, I explore identity, emotion, and the many shades of what it means to simply be.
​
I’ve come to realize that my art can speak to reality without having to replicate it exactly. Each piece allows me to translate truth through color, feeling, and form — creating a world where blue feels good, too.
Where passion meets purpose...
Merging my joy for teaching with my passion for art inspired me to create and facilitate a community-based program called “Craft & Convos.” This expressive art series engages youth and adults in collaborative painting, up-cycled fashion projects, and open dialogue centered around identity, intention, and creative storytelling.
