4 Winds 1 of 4 is a mixed media piece that specifically pays homage to shamanistic societies (now long gone), and societies yet to be born. She is the first of 4 omniscient beings.

Queen of Love & Light is a mixed media painting of writer and good friend Meserette Kentake-Windbush. She just happens to resemble a powerful character in my drawings and writings, so I decided to paint her.

Mixed Media

Setti represents a mixture of past and present women of the African Diaspora; looking to the hidden past to guide them to an uncertain future. She dresses very contemporary to represent living in the "now".

Mixed Media

Ancient/Future Lounge combines classical painting, technology, Ancient Egypt and Africa. Even producing this piece is a mixture of all of these elements (traditional and digital mediums coming together for a common purpose).

Mixed Media

"Astante" combines all of the principal elements in my art style: contemporary figures, tribal & shamanistic esthetics, African & Egyptian elements, with a touch of the unseen future.

Mixed Media

"Future Sky Tribe" is a unique piece because it's both a painting on canvas and a artistic video. Feathers have great meaning in my work. They tend to represent an African bird (Sankofa), or a Native American tribe. This being is not quite in the present or future. I will often do this to create a tension between how things are now, and how thing "can be" in the foreseeable future-given the path that you choose.

Mixed Media

"Past/Future Guide" is just that. This piece represents the fact that our soul does not adhere to time, so you can learn from both instances.

Mixed Media

"Flux N.A." is a piece that in meant to fuse past transcending figures (josephine baker) with future un-named styles and trends, in accordance to the type of art that I produce. Also, pays homage to the fact that some great artists have to leave their home for the type of success and dignity that they deserve.

Mixed Media

"Future Memories' is a mixed media painting on canvas that is really going deep into my fascination with the past and future. I've combined near-contemporary elements, with tribal-like qualities, to create someone who may never materialize in the future unless all of the technological and shamanistic ingredients aligned together.

Mixed Media

"Sun of us all" is a mixed media painting using elements of Byzantine art, Egyptian esthetics, and contemporary Pop art.
