Creating art has always been my passion. As an artist, I allow myself to explore different mediums and styles. My work is about the search for personal and social identity through assuming a Third culture. As an African raised in America, I am aware of the plurality of my cultural influences. This awareness increases my interest to express the duality in my artwork. I consider my work as an impression and expression of Ghanaian and Contemporary Western cultural influences. The artwork explores the multitudes of identities that result from migration as part of the African Diaspora.

Part of the African Diaspora for me is the use of Adinkra symbols, a language of traditional symbols of Ghanaian origin. The symbols serve as reminders of proverbs, ideas about life and are based on nonfigurative shapes, plant life, man made objects, the human body, and animals. I use these symbols and Pop Cultural influences in a manner, allowing the paintings to take on their own identities as graphic statements of the many realities and identities in life.
