I'm a painter from the beautiful West Indies. I love colors and textures. I started painting at age 4 and have kept doing it everyday.

Fireworks scare my dog.

So I’m not a fan of the 4th of July for many of the reasons a lot of people of color are not. The main reason is Junetenth is when Black people got freedom in America around 100 years later. British freedom only counted for people who were thought of as American and not property. Also my dog is freaked out by fireworks.

So we don’t really do parades as much as we do fireworks and cookouts. I use the day to sleep and eat really good food that I don’t have to cook at other people’s houses. It is perfect in it’s own little way.

My favorite fourth of July food is Tamales.

So I took my nap and now I’m ready to get back to fighting the good fight to get kids out cages. Because we can’t celebrate freedom if we are not all free.

The day of the show

It’s 7 Am and the air is cool. A perfect day for an art show. I’m so happy and lucky to get these chances. Meeting beautiful and amazing souls. I hope to catch up with everyone at the show. Should be fun.

Also as a way not to go insane I took a ton of photos.

“relax Jaws …relax” is the voice in my head.

Being mindful

It’s so easy with everything up in the air to forget to be kind. Not in a you have no manners but in a go out of your way to do something nice for yourself and other people. some times the journey is to just get to kind moments. It’s the journey not the destination to focus on. You will get there when you get there.
