I’m a Jamaican-American artist, musician, and interior designer passionate about storytelling through visual art. Since my early introduction to the arts in 5th grade, I’ve been committed to creating pieces that connect across boundaries of emotion, culture, and identity. My work leans into hyper surrealism, blending acrylics, spray paint, and woodwork to explore complex topics—from mental health to societal division.

With a BA in Studio Art and years of experience across murals, logo design, and community projects, I engage deeply with themes of belonging and the perspectives of the Caribbean American, Neurodivergent, and Creative communities. Each piece I create feels like a page of my personal diary, especially my ongoing series, “Therapy Session,” which unpacks mental health journeys through vibrant, immersive visuals. Always open to collaborations, commissions, and new ideas—let’s create something meaningful together.
