As a Caribbean-American autistic lesbian painter, born and raised in the heart of the deep south, my artistic journey is an exploration of the intersections that shape my identity. Growing up in a small town, I found solace and expression through the vibrant hues of oil and acrylic paints. Each stroke on the canvas serves as a testament to the intricate dance of my personal narratives.
My work is more than just art; it's a living documentation of my life, a visual narrative that gracefully navigates the tapestry of my diverse identities with an embrace of unconditional kindness. In the lush landscapes and vibrant portraits, I find a harmonious balance between my Caribbean roots and the cultural tapestry of the American South. It's a celebration of the beauty found in the convergence of seemingly disparate elements. In the realm of my art, joy takes center stage. I paint towards joy, using the canvas as a mirror reflecting the spectrum of emotions that color my existence. Through the lens of my autistic perspective, I bring forth a unique and authentic expression that resonates with the harmony found within myself. My art becomes a sanctuary where grace and joy intertwine, inviting viewers to share in the beauty of navigating life's complexities with resilience and a spirit of love. |
