<!--StartFragment--> Charles Horton Cooley once said,“An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one.”   So here I am embracing my once dormant artistic side.  Releasing my views and impressions of the world through vivid colors and energetic lines.   I am a student of life as well as an alumni of North Carolina State University in which I obtained my BA in Liberal Arts.  I label myself “self-taught” but my current teachers or “artist inspirations” are painters, writers and musicians such as Pollock, Kerouac, Coltrane, Jacob Lawrence, Langston Hughes, Hendrix and many others.  I have exhibited in many group shows and will soon be looking for the opportunity to have my first SOLO show.  I was born in New jersey and spent my teenage years in North Carolina.   My soul is embedded with both the north and the south.  I currently live in Charlotte, NC where I have chosen to set down roots and grow artistically within the thriving Charlotte art community.  <!--EndFragment-->
