[Custom Art Projects] seek to share [x]. These handmade mixed media or assemblage portraits allow both the artist and sitter to use unconventional materials and methods to create unique portraits.
I’m using the creative process of art making as an opportunity to participate in collective storytelling as a way of reclaiming narratives, especially for BIPOC communities. It is my hope to inspire collectors and, through their participation of this collection, to create opportunities to share the positive impact. This is true manifestation and, for this, I give thanks.
PROJECTS GALLERY
The Pilot Series of the Soul Kindred Stories kicks off a small annual collection of custom, highly symbolic portraits focused on storytelling; combining literary elements, abstract motifs and figurative components with cultural / historical research and personal artifacts to create quite unique and powerful heirlooms. The pilot series represents a great passion for me as an artist and art & activism educator. It also shares the new style and approach of my work as well as creates a portfolio that helps introduce the next iteration of the portraits series to launch in 2025, which invites youth and elders working together to produce large scale portraits honoring their community heros.
NOTES
Note: Given the pilot series is limited to 12 portraits, in order to place projects into the studio calendar and to ensure works are completed between May – Dec 2024, the inquiry form will be closed for 2024 once the maximum projects have been confirmed.
