ABOUT THE WORK
A memory
pressed into oil
Saturday morning. A kitchen filled with warmth and the smell of grease on a hot comb. Hands that knew exactly how to part, press, and protect. If you grew up in a Black household, you didn't just get your hair done, you got a whole experience.
'Please Don't Bump the Ends' is the first painting in 'The Childhood I Carried' series; a 9-part realistic oil painting series rooted in Black childhood nostalgia and cultural memory.
Oil on Canvas 36"x36" Black Floating Frame

THE ARTIST
These paintings aren't just about what I remember; they're about what we all carry, quietly, in the backs of our minds.
