"My talent in art was discovered in my early childhood. The first time I really believed that I had something in my hands was when I first began writing my name with an unusual craft that astonished my relatives. After winning several first place competitions in both grammar school and high school, I realized that many others believed as well. Home and family were a good inspiration for me because of the nurturing love, support and artistic talent that runs in the family. Receiving my BFA from Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts broadened my horizons. My future in art is bound for international acclaim as I expand my skills and creative niche. I also wish to use art as a means of social reform, communication, and advancement particularly in the Black community. I want to thank God, my family, friends, teachers and supporters for assisting me in reaching my goals and in my desire to accumulate the best knowledge and mastery of my craft."
