I am an Artist from Newport News, VA. I have been interested in Art since I was a 8 years old. My first job as an Artist was at a local Screen printing shop, called Creative Graphics in a place called Peddlers Village,where I designed t-shirts of African Americans characters. Back when everything was hand drawn.

Later I moved to Minneapolis, MN, where I worked for a company called Northern Imprints. I screen printed and helped design some t-shirts, such as The Atlanta Braves World Series t-shirt design. Those t-shirts were given to the players with their rings when they won the World Series. During that time I designed t-shirts for a store that was in the Mall of America at one time called "All about Horses".

Soon after that, I attended MCAD (Minneapolis Collage of Art and Design) where one of my classes was on how to create a comic book, give by Artist Tommy Orrico, who had worked for Marvel Comics at one time in his career.

Later that year, I also took a class on how to create a children's book. This was given by children's author Sharon St. Germain, who wrote the book "The Terrible Fight".

    After other screen printing and art jobs here and there, I worked for one of my favorite places called Northland Poster Collective / RLM graphics. That was where I got a more vivid understanding for art, community, and people. I met some wonderful people, such as Ricardo Levins Morales, who is one of my favorite artists. Through Ricardo, I also met a very gifted artist named  Janice Lee Porter, who wrote books such as "M is for Minnesota"

I also had the pleasure to appear on the radio show "Write on Radio" on KFAI fm 90.3 (in Minneapolis).  The program was about 100 years of Langston Hughes, It included one of my favorite poets J.Otis Powell among other poets and writers,  I created a poster about Langston Hughes to celebrated a poster about Langston Hughes to celebrate his outstanding work.

I then moved back to Newport News, VA, in 2003 to begin screen printing and designing . In 2007, I designed a backdrop and other pieces for a good friend of mine and one of the funniest women in comedy, Cocoa Brown. Cocoa Brown has appeared on TV shows and movies such as BET comic view, ER,  MTV , Las Vegas and movies, such as Lakeview Terrace, just to name a few.  She is very funny. Check her out at www.cocoabrown4life.com.

I became a member of the PFAC Artist League (Peninsula Fine Arts Center) in 2008 and later I appeared on a show on CW27 called "Here and Now" hosted by Kafi Rouse.  I look forward to doing much more this year 2009.
