“It is clear to me that fine arts have a significant impact on the quality of life in our culture. My worldview, as it translates to canvas, is based on my varied life experiences and a strong value system that has enabled me to recognize that the strength and beauty of the human spirit can survive and blossom despite adversity. My paintings are visual expressions depicting the social and political concerns of the Black community as well as the human condition in general. I use my brush like a hammer to protest and comment on the conditions I see.”
