An Odyssey of Whispers
This series is an excavation of memory, history, and spiritual resilience.
Through layered materials, ancestral echoes, and deeply personal visions,
The paintings trace both hidden and visible legacies—speaking to stolen
names, suppressed stories, and the enduring strength of those
who lived, witnessed, and rose. In this body of work, memory becomes
tactile, held in safety pins, rubbed into surfaces, and whispered
through generations.

In My Heart, Sojourner
12 x 18 in
Mixed Media on Tar Paper
Crowned in gold, she meets the viewer's
gaze—calm, grounded,
unapologetic. At her heart, beneath a weave of
red and earth tones, rests
the image of Sojourner Truth. This is no silent
Homage: it is a declaration.
“Ain’t I a Woman?” echoes not only through her,
but through all who
continue to rise, resist, and claim worth.
Truth
becomes legacy.
Spirit becomes armor.
Voice becomes portrait.
