Artist statement: I’m a 2006 grad of Syracuse University with a BFA in Illustration. My main medium is acrylic. I enjoy painting and illustrating various aspects of life especially African American. I especially love working in my sketchbook because I wouldn’t be able to grow as an illustrator without it. My sketchbook goes everywhere with me.
