Artist Statement:

Since moving to New York City, I have been influenced by the edginess of living in the city and exposed to new idea about art, multiple ethnic neighborhoods and cultural identities.  This has added richness to the imagery and a more expressive quality to the material, as I become more and more interested in painting as a form of visual poetry. 
 
The three pieces I have chosen reflect the blending of cultural identities, European, Latin American, Asian and African, which I feel represent the new face of Harlem.
