I am a conscious visual heartist, painter, poet a giver and a receiver. I’m inspired by conscious people and the realism of life, motivated with passion for creating works of art that speak for themselves. My poetry is to emancipate people from mental slavery to which many of our people are trapped by. The expressed self is shown in my works for the fight for freedom; I look at issues such as identity, culture, and stereotyping and political greed. Much of my work is created by images that I have taken and the people around me and there situations as well as my own (single black female raising a sun alone.) I use text that has significant meaning which is merged together from the colour on the brush to the surface that it lays upon. The use of my third eye is very important to me as the reality of the concrete jungle that we live in is so messed up with nets and webs to hold down as many of our people don’t for get “we run tings tings nuh run we” so don’t get yourself lost in the fantasy. The wisdom, guidance and the light has carried me through to my destiny to which I’m here to document the events of my people who have been mislead into thinking culture, spiritual and emotional indifferences. I am here to condemn the wrongdoings of social behaviour. There are misguided and lost souls, mentally ill and the killings of one another HAVE TO STOP. My power my strength are from those that I have around me as my sun who inspires me in his every moment the light is shining, my mother the definition of a true queen. The energy of such Artists as Kwamena Asmah for his love and understanding, his guidance and hard works, keep the fire burning bro. Sonia Boyce for her works that depicts race, ethnicity and urban experiences, Eddie Chambers, Artist, Critic and Curator, Keith piper, Wadsworth Jarrell and some of Jenny Holzers work and many more. I also adore the Ndebele art form. Poets such as pioneer Bob Marley and Linton kwesi Johnson, Benjamin Zephaniah and James Berry and many more.“Emancipate yourself” “Slogans will not keep us down” and “keep the fire burning” remember this “out of many one people” ONE LOVE
