Ancestral Spirits
Through spirituality and faith, we come to know ourselves and each other. This work is only a reflection, an entry point to looking at my developing connection to African spirituality and my experience in Christianity. It is meant to give space for generative thoughts and ideas, and hopefully discussion on influences; sources of inspiration, and honoring ancestral voices.

Artist Bio
I am a Nashville native, wife, mother, teacher and mentor. As an art educator, I look for new ways to develop what it looks like to teach, create, and lead, and to do so more effectively. At the center of my art practice is the idea of memory and how that manifests, motivates and moves one to action in the discovery of who they are. Both roles help to center me in authenticity and meaning.
