Art That Gives Back

The October Art Gallery recently donated and installed over 20 works of art at Parkway Northwest High School through their Free Art Wall initiative, including several of my pieces. I designed the community mural pictured here, which was brought to life by the SMART Girls mentoring program and our community. I’m grateful for every opportunity to create meaningful work and share art with schools and young people across Philadelphia.

A Full Circle Moment on 9th Street

I served as the assistant artist on this mural with lead artist Martha Rich, commissioned by Michelle Ortiz and Mural Arts Philadelphia. Having grown up right here selling shopping bags, adding artwork to this block feels like giving back to the place that shaped me.

Threads of My Philly Roots

Painting these awnings brought me back to where it all began. My family worked on 9th Street, and I grew up nearby on 11th and Carpenter. This project was an opportunity to honor a community that shaped me. Created with the Our Market Project and Mural Arts Philadelphia.

Where Culture Lives and Color Speaks

Afro-American Art & History Program

As the lead art instructor for the SMART Girls Afro-American Art and History Program, I work with young girls ages eight to thirteen, helping them explore identity, creativity, and history through art. Enrollment is still open, and every participant will receive a one hundred dollar gift card.

My Dream Project

Destined Paths came from deep research, prayer, and pure creativity. I studied Kyrie’s story and poured everything I learned onto the canvas. Creating it felt like channeling Basquiat’s way of speaking through symbols, color, and movement. This is more than a painting. It is a story on canvas, waiting for Kyrie to sit down, look at every detail, and decode the meaning behind it. The sneaker concept takes that same energy to another level artistically, expanding the story beyond the canvas. This piece is inspired by Hollywood Africans and created with the hope that one day Kyrie Irving will experience it for himself.

The Chi - Season 5 Episode 4 🎨

While you’re here, explore my art and the stories behind it. And if you’d like to see another piece of my journey, my cameo on The Chi (Season 5, Episode 4) is still streaming on Showtime.

Testimonials

Just an overall experience of informative conversation, spirited offerings and soulful gathering. It was a privilege to be in the company of such a dynamic individual.
