I am blessed. I enjoy creating art and sharing it with the world through painting, teaching, encouraging and fundraising. I took art seriously after entering the “exciting” world of work and found it a big disappointment. It was then that I decided to take art classes and workshops all around New York City and received MA in Studio Art from NYU. Being in the company of the art community brings me great joy. I started the Bedford Stuyvesant Arts Organization, the Fine Art Ministry at my Church, opened my own art gallery, joined Fulton Art Fair and the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition and have even shown my work in Ethiopia.
