I grew up in Oberlin, Ohio, and pursued degrees in Business and in Black Studies/African Art at Amherst College, in New England. I taught myself to paint on a computer about 25 years ago. I believed in digital as the future of art and I wanted to work with the newest art creating technology. As an artist I like to explore humanity’s evolving relationship with computers. Each work explores how much humanity can extract from the computer without ceding artistic control to it. Although I don’t tend to touch on overtly African-American themes, I reference and pay homage to the urban aesthetic and the geometric style that our cities express. African textiles are also common reference as I like to re-interpret them using digital tools. I was a best emerging artist award winner in 2008's Chicago Art Open. In 2009 I won a First Prize in an international poster design contest organized by The Olympia F.U.N. Co-op.
