Creating Other Worldly Gems
Born and raised in Tiohtiá:ke (Montreal), my practice lies in creating work that stems from the vividness of the Afro-diaspora/Caribbean culture and the interconnected realities of the neuroexpansive experience. I'm drawn to geometric compositions and the exploration of merging socio-political issues with futurism and surrealism.
Through my knowledge of graphic design, I’ve created posters, logos and digital tools for McGill University’s Rad Frosh, Project 10, Aide aux Trans du Québec, Cure Concordia, Keywords Studios, and Euphorie dans le genre.
I have a deep appreciation for dancehall culture, immersive experiences and pushing the boundaries of print and graphic design. It allows me to create a world where colours don’t have to be an after thought. Being brought up in Jamaican culture has contributed to my artistic development of being unafraid of being bold and braggadocious.
Creating art has become a method of escapism where my dreams go to prosper. I hope that our paths cross for me to share that experience with you.
