“Crossgates: The Room My Dad Built”
24x26 Woodcut Relief and Screenprint
2025
Really excited with the two separate editions I got out of this block. I’ll be showing these around Atlanta and basking in the work being complete… for now
Closed out two amazing shows this week!
“Young Hot Ebony” was a beautiful curation by @superkay.art highlighting black women and non-binary artists. The space and the energy were phenomenal and I’m so grateful for the collaboration that came with such an amazing show! I also finished my 6-month residency with @atl_printmakers at the end of June which was closed out with our exit show and artist talk. During the reception, I got to talk about my work created during this time and its connection to my past, identity, and family. A very vulnerable but beautiful opportunity that I glad I got to share with those who came.
These shows both meant so much to me- for so many different reasons. I look forward to continuing on this journey of connection through sharing my work and am so grateful everyday for the opportunity to do so ❤️❤️❤️
“Kinkeeper”
18x24in
Linocut Relief
Worked on this carving for over a year and a half and finally finished
Alot of problem-solving went into this print,especially with its emphasis on texture- how to depict smoke, fire, metal, etc??? It was hard!
Very happy with the results and truly feel like I was meant to finish it when I did!
“The Apartment at Avalon”
20 x 27in
Screenprint
My last print created in 2025! This was originally a woodcut design but for time and color sake I converted it to a screenprint. (Spoiler…a 7-layer screenprint is not faster than a 1-layer woodcut :3 )
I have an interesting relationship with this print and weirdly enough out of all my prints people have the most interesting interpretations around this one
thanks for looking <3
Last month, I had the opportunity to have my first gallery solo show! “Uprooted is a personal printmaking exhibition reflecting on memory, place, and identity. Drawing from my upbringing in Mississippi and lived experiences across the South, I use images of past homes, magnolias, and natural environments to trace how childhood spaces shape who you become. Through woodcut, linocut, monoprint, and screenprinting the work considers, belonging, displacement, and the lasting influence of the places we come from.”
Grateful to @cherokeecoartsnc@woodmusings and @rachelalanawatson for allowing me the opportunity to share my work and paint all over the walls. Thank you for my sister and her support both in the work and dealing with my driving coming down to NC. Also grateful to my roomies for showing up and showing out per usual.
Uprooted was a chance to put together the work I had so far. Im not quite done with these subjects but I look forward to seeing how they evolve.
Happy heat wave Friday! Now that the ice has melted and the sun is shining, stop by TONIGHT for some genuine conversation and beautiful company at Cherokee County Arts Council

“Outside Time: An Homage to Recess”
14.5x17.5in
Woodcut Relief on Bfk Rives
2025
My last woodcut of 2025! This revisited themes from my first ever relief print titled “Honeysuckles at Recess” (last slide)and was literally so much fun to recreate
Have some new and exciting things done/in the works but wanted to give this print its moment
@warnockart brings her super talent, kindness, and incredible artistic style to @constellations.community to usher in the holidays with style. Tis definitely the season over here in Sweet Auburn now. Thank you, Jasmine!
“The Slab”
15x22in
Woodcut Relief
Monoprint and Woodcut Relief (Varied Edition)
This print features the concrete slab in the backyard of the house in my print “Self Creek Road”. This continues the series of exploring my different childhood homes and the memories attached to each unique environment.
The other week I had so much fun facilitating two workshops at Georgia Tech!
The first was during @georgiatecharts ImagiNATION Arts Festival. I guided an introduction to relief printmaking where everyone got to carve 4x6 blocks - many people making their first ever prints!
The next day I taught a second workshop with @rcw_papermuseum for their Tactile Tech Thursday programming to do a collaborative community garden print using precut laser blocks I designed.
I feel so grateful to have shared printmaking in both of these unique spaces. It is always so special to me to see peoples excitement when exploring the medium. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!!
