From my solo show titled “Hard Candy”. A powerful meditation on the ways that faith, creativity, and resilience

intersect in the Black community, and a testament to the enduring strength and beauty

of the Black experience. Whether through individual acts of kindness or collective

efforts to create a more just and equitable society, the exhibition offers a vision of hope

and possibility for all.

The vibrant paintings of Black figures or mixed-media sculptures throughout, use

candy as a metaphor for the sweetness and bitterness of life and explore the ways

that faith can help us to find joy and purpose even in the midst of hardship.
