 I am a Black American man, father, and husband making work examining my identity through painting. My work is the documentation of the dynamic cultural experience of being a Black American. Using acrylic paint as my medium, I make contemporary portraiture/figurative paintings and collages of primarily Black American subjects, whose mere presence on canvas provokes discourse.
