COLLECTION: National Afro-American Museum & Cultural Center

My art is inspired by nature and man's relationship with nature. One of my earliest influences as a child growing up on a farm in Southeastern Arkansas was the Rhythm and Blues music of the Sixties. I did not have a voice for singing so my statements were visual instead of being vocal. When I closely observe my environment, I see rhythms in nature (e. g. repetitions, designs, and patterns) and recognize dance is part of the human experience.
