More details, more stories coming to life. 🤎

It’s been such a joy developing my cowgirl series during my grad program. Exploring textures, histories, and presence of Black cowgirls through each piece. I can’t wait to share the completed work with you.

Stay tuned. 🐎✨

Our hair holds stories. What’s yours? 🪮✨

Here’s a peek at the process behind my summer 2026 piece for Firstline Brands Brunch & Bubbles event! Honoring Black Hairitage through my art meant celebrating our roots, our creativity, and the love passed down with every braid, curl, and twist. 🩵

What’s a hair memory you’ll never forget?

🎬 Netflix Presents: Surviving New Orleans Art Culture as a Visual Artist 😂🎨

A gripping series featuring:
• “Can I get a discount?”
• Exposure instead of payment.
• Applying for grants at 11:58 PM.
• Transporting oversized paintings in a car that definitely wasn’t built for it.
• Saying “I’m just making work” while having three deadlines and two commissions.

Coming soon…

While rodeo culture is often associated with Texas, its roots run deep throughout Louisiana and the Gulf South. This piece celebrates the connection between New Orleans and Texas, honoring the legacy of Black cowgirls whose presence, style, and resilience continue to shape these traditions.

The blue hat stands boldly among the crowd shows a symbol of individuality, pride, and heritage. This work is especially meaningful to me, as my mother served as the reference and inspiration behind the piece.

Thank you to Silver Street Studios and Arts District Houston for the opportunity to share this work. It was an honor to exhibit it, and an even greater honor to celebrate the woman who inspired it. 💙

As a New Orleans native now creating in Houston, it means so much to contribute to spaces that celebrate culture, storytelling, and community. If you’re in the city this month, I’d love for you to stop by, say hello, and experience the work in person. ✨
