About Me

I paint, I spin because I enjoy it, I sing and write my own songs and I have fun with my computer making good pictures into works of art! Here is one of my recent works, an oil painting of Jay Z, which was signed and auctioned off for charity.
JAHMECCA SOUNDCREW
While I was in Taiwan, I worked with True and Geena Lee, my sister artistas in a group called Jahmecca. I did my final show with them at Canada D'eh (June 31, 2007) before moving back to Canada for school, and it was a beautiful segue into new and different things. Jahmecca Soundcrew still runs tings in Taiwan.
...and Stevie reigns forever in my heart...
