“This was brilliant and thought provoking and I needed it.”
“So compelling - I could feel myself shifting and changing listening to you and looking at your work.”
“It looks like the ancestors are guiding you!”
“The patterns are concrete in their existence and illusive in their perception. Absolutely brilliant and so powerful to see this work.”
“I’ve never seen anything like it!”
“It’s the most I’ve seen my 2 year old actually looking at the art on the walls. There’s something to that, I think.”

Public Artist Talk
July 30, 2021 at the Duluth Art Institute, I sat down with Exhibitions Director to speak about my process and about the work included in the exhibition. This was the first in-person gathering the institute organized since March 2020. There were about 25 people in attendance.
Some comments from visitors:
“Thank you for being here, and for sharing some of the stories behind your work. It helps me to better understand what you do and what the work means.” - one attendee of artist talk
“You also have the gift of communication.” - one attendee of artist talk
“My God, if that isn’t a true statement!” - 88 yr old racial justice activist & DAI Board Member when viewing WHITE OBLIVION
“Your words gave me chills". - social media reaction to exhibition video
“You are exploring absent narratives around revealing the price that’s paid when whiteness is the single story.” - executive director of the Duluth Art Institute
“I drove home inspired by the way you’ve been able to process your learning through your artistic medium.” - opera singer, attendee of the artist talk
