About

I am a mother and conceptual artist who finds inspiration in nature, archives, memory, and connection to place. I was born on a military installation in Georgia named after General Henry L. Benning of the Confederate States Army. My birth began my family’s first generation after the Civil Rights Act and its fifth generation post-Emancipation.

Providence, Rhode Island is now my home. My research-based practice creates a new history and personal geography through accumulations of images, text and occupying space with my body. I was the recipient of the RI Humanities’ Public Humanities Scholar Award (2021) and the RISD Museum Artist Fellowship (2018). I have attended several residencies, including Studios at MassMoCA (2025), Surf Point Foundation (2024), and Pratt>FORWARD (2020). My work has been showcased by Jane Lombard Gallery (NY), Newport Art Museum (RI), TILA Studios (GA), the Biennial of the Americas (CO), and the Photographic Museum of Humanity (IT).

I am a member of the WARP Collective housed in Olneyville’s historic Atlantic Mills and teach Foundations and Junior Seminar in Brown University’s Department of Visual Art.

Artist Statement

A river runs from its present in one place to its future in another, gradually and meticulously shaping its surroundings along the way. In its constant flow of water and dynamic change, time collapses. Past, present, and future exist simultaneously.

The mothers in my family are also rivers—recorders and keepers of recipes, stories, photographs, documents, and traditions. Through their guidance, I have learned that events of the past simultaneously shape our present and future.

I work across media, gathering still and moving images, documents, objects, sound, and oral narratives. These archival elements are transformed by my creative process through layering, sequencing, juxtaposition, manipulating materiality, and adding text.

This transformation results in monuments of duality: objects, images, and time-based media that combine past and present, nature and artifice, joy and grief, memory and recorded history, evidence and critique.
