Biography:
My paintings are a surreal journey evoking movement and grace across characters
and scenery alike.
My island heritage infuses my color choices and juxtaposed images especially in my series
of voodoo paintings.
From Cubist to abstract, humble to fantastical, my intention is to create series that evoke your spirit.
