My Art✨

From Atlanta to New York City, I carry my craft with me a suitcase of dreams, a heart full of purpose.

Each strand I twist is more than a style; it’s a prayer, a poem, a piece of my soul.

Hair, for me, is sacred.

It’s how I paint without a brush.

How my inner child dances freely.

How I honor the gift God gave me.

I don’t wear my hair loud for attention.

I wear it because it speaks to me.

Every loc, every color, every texture tells my story.

This is expression. This is healing.

This is purpose in motion.

... Read moreHair artistry transcends mere styling; it embodies deep personal significance and cultural heritage. Many people around the world view hairstyles as a form of self-expression, often derived from rich histories and traditions. From braids and locs to vibrant colors and textures, hair serves as a canvas through which individuals communicate their identities. In contemporary culture, the rise of social media has further amplified the visibility of diverse hair practices, allowing artists to share their work and connect with like-minded individuals. Platforms like Instagram and Lemon8 have become hotspots for hairstylists to showcase their talents and the stories behind their hairstyles, fostering a sense of community and celebration around creativity. In addition to aesthetics, hair also holds emotional and spiritual significance. Many believe that their hair carries energy, memories, and even ancestral stories that contribute to their individuality. As such, every choice regarding hair—whether for fashion, tradition, or personal healing—can be a profound statement of one's journey and identity. Exploring hair as art invites deeper conversations about self-love, acceptance, and the shared experience of humanity, truly making each strand a symbol of one's vivid story.

A sketchbook open on green grass with daisies, displaying pencil drawings of basic figure gesture studies. Overlaid text reads 'art practice' and 'Gesture studies', with 'SPRING' at the top.
Three figure drawings illustrating pose dynamics: a 'flat' basic pose, a 'dynamic pose' with more movement, and a detailed figure 'with muscles' showing anatomical structure.
Two figure drawings demonstrating different perspectives: one from a 'straight view' and another from a 'view from above', showing how angles affect the pose.
Practice art gestures with me 🌼
🌼 Ways to make your pose more dynamic 🌼 1. Tilt the ribs and pelvis opposite for a slight back bend 2. Tilt the ribs and pelvis sideways for a contrapposto effect 3. Foreshorten one part of the arm or leg for a layered effect 4. Draw the pose from a more upward or lower angle This po
