A new day. |

Greetings, It’s a new year and good things are on the horizon. I can feel it!! Art Basel Miami Beach was exciting for me especially because of my participation at the 30 Americans exhibit at the Rubell Family Collection. Its humbling to have my work displayed alongside such amazing artists. The above image is a special edition print Rashid Johnson and I collaborated on while in Miami for the Rubell Collection titled “A Portrait of Two American Artists as Young Negro Scholars”. Since then I’ve been working really hard to put together my solo show at Jack Shainman Gallery opening February 12th. I’m both nervous and excited to hear the response. Let me know!
