Black Queen
This is a powerful and evocative artwork, rich with symbolism and meaning. It depicts a figure with a crown, a voluminous natural hairstyle, and sunflowers surrounding the lower part of the body.
The woman’s arms are raised in a prayerful or meditative pose, with words of affirmation written across them. The crown signifies royalty, dignity, and self-respect. The natural hairstyle represents cultural
pride and identity, especially in the context of African heritage.
Together, they highlight the
importance of self-love and embracing one's roots.
Sunflowers are often associated with positivity, warmth, and admiration. They symbolize the sun, which is a source of life and
energy. They represent growth, resilience, and the beauty of life.
Her pose suggests a state of inner peace, contemplation, and spiritual connection. It indicates a journey towards self-
awareness and inner strength.
The words written on her body are affirmations that reinforce positive self-worth and identity. I want these words to encourage viewers to internalize these
messages, promoting self-esteem and confidence.
I painted this to serves as a celebration of black identity and beauty, and have it resonate particularly with those who seek representation and affirmation of their cultural heritage in art.
Her meditative pose and the surrounding elements should evoke a sense of spiritual awakening and personal growth, and encourage viewers to reflect on their own journey and embrace their inner power.
Let this powerful imagery and affirmations inspire viewers to embrace their true selves and overcome societal pressures and negative self-perceptions.
The serene and empowering nature of this artwork provides comfort and hope, reminding viewers of their inherent worth and potential.
In summary, this artwork is meaningful because it combines powerful symbols, positive affirmations, and artistic beauty to convey messages of self-worth, cultural pride, and spiritual growth. It resonates deeply with onlookers, offering inspiration and a sense of empowerment.

Aja, The Wild Wind
Aja The Wild Wind is a figure of immense power and profound significance, a character who embodies the untamed and transformative forces of nature. Her purpose is to act as a catalyst for change, stirring the stagnant air and igniting the dormant potential within all who encounter her.
Aja's powers are diverse and formidable, encompassing the ability to command the winds, summon storms, and influence the elements.
These abilities symbolize her role as a harbinger of transformation, capable of sweeping away the old and making way for the new.
Aja's connection to the wind is central to her identity. The wind, by its very nature, is invisible yet omnipresent, powerful yet gentle, capable of both nurturing and destroying. This duality makes Aja a potent symbol of spiritual growth. She represents the unseen forces that shape our lives, the currents of change that propel us forward even when we cannot see them.
Her wild and unpredictable nature reminds us that growth is often accompanied by chaos and uncertainty, but it is through this turbulence that we find our true strength and direction.
In this painting, Aja, The Wild Wind is depicted amidst swirling clouds, her hair billowing in the tempest she commands. Her eyes gleam with the intensity of a storm, reflecting both the fury and the clarity of the wind.
To those who gaze upon her image, Aja serves as a reminder of the power of nature and the importance of embracing change. She challenges viewers to confront their fears and uncertainties, to let go of the past, and to trust in the process of transformation.
Aja's role as a symbol of spiritual growth is multifaceted. She embodies the idea that true growth often requires us to face the unknown, to be swept up in the winds of change, and to
emerge stronger and more resilient on the other side.
Her wildness speaks to the untamed aspects of our own nature, urging us to break free from constraints and to pursue our true potential. In this way, Aja, The Wild Wind is not just a force of nature, but a guide and inspiration for those on their own spiritual journey.

Gratitude
"Gratitude" is a powerful and evocative piece that captures a moment of deep introspection and thankfulness.
Drake is in a crouched, prayerful pose with hands clasped, symbolizing a moment of deep gratitude and humility. His stance conveys a sense of vulnerability and sincerity, in which I hope viewers feel connected to him on a personal level.
With his microphone on the ground, it signifies a pause from his performance, suggesting that this moment was outside of his public persona and focused on personal reflection.
To me, it highlights the importance of taking a step back to appreciate and reflect on one’s journey.
Many people, regardless of their background, have experienced moments of profound gratitude. Seeing a well-known figure like Drake in such a state, I hope makes the emotion more relatable and humanizes him, bridging the gap between celebrity and everyday experiences.
I intend for this painting to inspire viewers to reflect on their own lives and the moments they are grateful for. I want onlookers to be encouraged to find humility and thankfulness in their own journey's, regardless of their struggles or achievements.
The use of a limited color palette creates a dramatic and focused composition, emphasizing the solemnity and sincerity of the moment, and drawing your attention to the emotion conveyed through his pose and expression.
Painting a prominent figure like Drake, who is influential in the music industry and popular culture, adds a layer of significance to the painting. To me it serves as a reminder that success and fame are often accompanied by moments of introspection and gratitude.
For fans of Drake, this painting is particularly meaningful as it portrays a side of the artist that they may not often see. I hope this strengthens their connection to him and adds depth to their understanding of his character and values.
By sharing this painting, I invite onlookers to engage in their own moments of personal reflection and gratitude. Let this serves as a visual prompt to consider what they are thankful for in their lives.
Gratitude is a universal emotion experienced by people of all cultures and backgrounds. The painting transcends individual experiences and resonates on a collective level, making it meaningful to a broad audience.
In summary, "Gratitude" is a meaningful and impactful painting because it captures a moment of vulnerability, humility, and thankfulness in a prominent figure.

Perspectives of Particles
“Perspectives of Particles" is my striking 70"x110" diamond painting that vividly portrays a cosmic expanse.
With a star-laden sky and a majestic galaxy above, a detailed Earth beneath, and a lone figure on a cliff's edge, this artwork encapsulates my intense journey with chronic pain and fatigue. The immense space and Earth reflect feelings of solitude and the daunting nature of physical limitations.
The figure stands resiliently on the cliff, symbolizing my determination to overcome challenges. My meticulous diamond painting process acts as a therapeutic escape, helping me manage mental health struggles and
find solace in creation. It beautifully illustrates the power of art in my healing and self-expression.
I employed meticulous diamond painting techniques, placing thousands of tiny, 5D colorful resin "diamonds" onto a pre-printed canvas. This method is meditative, allowing for controlled, repetitive motions that cater to my physical limitations and offer a calming, therapeutic way to manage the chronic pain and fatigue.
