I was born and raised in upstate New York in a close-knit family with roots extending to South Carolina. I discovered my passion for art at a young age and spent many years honing my craft. I earned a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. Despite initial struggles to find my place in the art world, my dedication led me to create a variety of greeting cards and stationery focusing on African American themes. In addition to creating art, I have spent many years in art education. My goal is to continue sharing my art, which conveys positive messages and uplifts the spirits of all who receive it. It is important to me that my creations are not ony visually appealing but also authentic in both their creative process as well the final outcome. I am committed to sharing my products not just within my immediate community, but with communities across the globe.
