Board
Ground
An acrylic chalkboard background first. The dark field the memory is written on. Not a blank white canvas. A board, the way a classroom holds what was taught and what was erased.
Chalkline Figuration™
the body remembers
Oil captures what is. Chalk holds what was.
Series in progress
Songs of the Unbroken
In progress in the Miami studio — about half the body is painted. Available works are listed under Collect; the full series premiere comes when all twenty are finished.
Twenty paintings exploring childhood, resilience, and identity within Afro-Caribbean life. Each one translates an everyday moment — play, stillness, connection — into something that stays.
The series is built in three tiers: anchor works that define the vision, core works that build the narrative, and companion works that invite collectors in.

Chalk
Memory
Drawn on the board before the oil goes down: figure, symbols, composition. Provisional, correctable. The chalk stays under and through the paint, a ghost of what was. What lingers. What the body holds even when the mind has moved on.
03
Oil
Permanence
The figure painted over the chalk. Semi-realistic, not hyperreal. Selective sharpness on faces and hands. Softened where movement lives. Earth tones. What is real. What is present. What stays. Symbols from a fixed vocabulary of 30 ride in the chalk layer, never decoration.

Sculptured Works
Before chalk, there were screws. Thousands of them, placed at precise depths to create three-dimensional paintings you could feel. Each piece built with 1,300 to 6,800 individual screws, uniquely positioned to bring the figure to life in physical space.
The medium evolved. The obsession is the same.
