“This series is about environmental awareness. I want people to understand that the earth does not really need us, but we need the earth. Children are primarily used to portray this in my work because children are the future. It’s our responsibility to create better living conditions for them. We pass down all that is […]
“The future is digital. My artwork presents a story of the future and the past: my future and my past. I express the desire to hide and be seen, simultaneously, and the hesitations to treasure true beauty and strength while exploring the sui generis nature of individuality. I am my own muse. My thoughts and […]
“ My work bridges the gap between spirituality and the modern day African woman in all the landscapes she finds herself in, exploring her identity and diversity.

“I do love street art, murals, some graffiti art that I see happening. I enjoy the fact that it is ephemeral up to a point, that it can’t be owned, framed, hung up on a wall. I am turning my objects and mural work into limited edition prints, but the original will never be “owned”. […]
