I use fused glass and sculptural techniques to craft visual aesthetics that interpret the global diaspora. Drawing from African iconography - strong lines, vibrant colors, distinctive patterns and ritual symbols, tied to spirituality, my works of art represent the cultural convergence of race and religion across societies and traditions and yet staying relevant to the global realities of diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice.
