Creating Oil Paintings with my fingers.
I prefer an oil base paint because it offer extended working time, rich colors, and intricate blending possibilities. I love the physical process of applying paint to the canvas. Slathering paint with my fingers, allows me to form a connection with the canvas. The act of painting through various techniques, styles, and materials provides me the possibility of creating art object beyond my initial conception. My paintings are an external translation of realities I've seen, lived, imagined and touched. Painting allows me to connect with the stolen cultural roots of my race, reimagined on a canvas, thus creating art from my soul. I paint with no expectations, allowing my paintings to speak for themselves. With limited vision I steal time from each day to tell a story with my fingers on a canvas of rich colors and blind truth.
The Message Art of Poetry is filled with poetry that is unwilling to be defined, labeled, or nailed down. My poetry is a chiseled marble of language. It is a paint-spattered canvas, but I use words instead of paint, and the canvas is you.
I am critical in the way I dole out words.
To borrow a phrase, poetry is a riddle wrapped in an enigma swathed in a cardigan sweater... or something like that.
Ever-evolving genre of my poems, will shirk your definition of poetry at every turn. The continued evolution of poetry keeps my poems alive. These poems will challenge you and your emotions.

Member of the Forest Park Art Alliance 2022-Present
In the early planning stages of "Cover Our Rust", the members knew that the village enthusiastically embraced the project. The one missing feature was a local art organization, and
this was soon remedied.
The Arts Alliance was formed immediately after the "Cover Our Rust" project was completed, with meetings taking place after May 13 to arrange proper legal provisions for a not-for-profit entity. By winter of 2017, by-laws were drafted and adopted, articles of incorporation were filed, and federal and state not-for-profit status paperwork was filed and approved.
