About the Artist

I am a Fine Art Photographer and Visual Artist of Bajan descent, born and raised in Queens, New York, 

 

This body of work explores identity through the lens of tradition, heritage, and family—capturing quiet moments where the past lingers just beneath the surface of the present. Much of my work takes the form of self-portraiture: a deliberate practice of turning the camera inward to examine how personal and ancestral narratives live within the body. At the same time, my work engages with the broader social, economic, and global issues that shape my lived experience. Through this dual lens, I seek to reveal how intimate personal histories are inextricably linked to larger systems—inviting reflection on how identity is formed and reformed in response to shifting cultural, political, and environmental landscapes.​

About the Photo

The childhood photograph I use to represent my work is not just a personal artifact—it is my compass. In that portrait, I see not only who I was, but the questions that continue to guide me. It reflects the innocence, resilience, and unspoken narratives I strive to reveal in others.

In returning to this image, I am rooted in memory, shaped by place, and woven with care, each image becomes a reflection of belonging and becoming.​

About the Process

I work across film, digital, and mixed media, incorporating natural light, found photographs, personal artifacts, and tactile materials such as acrylics, watercolor, and collage. I build images that are both archival and alive. My process often includes image blending  and layering techniques, allowing memory to blur and bleed through the present. These methods mirror the layered nature of identity itself—fragmented yet whole, intimate yet expansive. In blending mediums and timeframes, I aim to create visual spaces where the personal becomes universal, and where the act of remembering becomes a quiet form of revolution.
