Welcome!
I am an artist, community historian, and writer living on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. My collage work explores the lived experiences of Black femmes and folk focusing on identity, culture, and history. I also explore and document the history of Black Eastern Shore communities, primarily focused on Caroline, Queen Anne’s, Kent, Talbot, and Dorchester counties. Most recently, I completed The History of the Shantytowns on Kent Narrows exhibit about a Black community that impacted the development of the Queen Anne’s county seafood industry and civil rights movement.
You can find my past writings on minimalism and simple living here and purchase a copy of my book, Mindful Simplicity: Practical Strategies for Finding Harmony in Your Home, Work, and Life. Mindful Simplicity here.
