What the Soul Remembers, 2026
36 × 36 inches
Oil, model clay, and gold acrylic on canvas

This piece sits somewhere between the physical and the unseen.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what we carry beyond appearance — ancestry, memory, spirit, transformation, and the parts of ourselves that existed before we had language for them.

The realism begins to dissolve. The body becomes color. The hair, gold, symbols, birds, and texture begin to operate almost like fragments of memory — different histories occupying the same person at once.

This is What the Soul Remembers.

On view tomorrow as part of my solo exhibition:

WHAT REMAINS SACRED
Thursday, October 8, 2026
5–9 PM
Webster University Art Gallery
800 Olive St., St. Louis, Missouri

Free & open to the public.

I AM in a “STATE OF ABUNDANCE”! ✨

I announced back in December, with this video of my friend who happens to be one of the sweetest, most talented, intelligent, and handsome guys I know @cytheiv casually modeling for me, that @angelsadvocate88 was coming in 2026!!!

And here we are… FINALLY HERE! 🥹✨

With that being said, EVERYTHING I was working on in 2025 is officially OUT! 🙌🏽

Angel’s Advocate. Virtue 316.
The vision. The ideas. The work. The faith. It’s all coming to life. 💙

And while I’m watching these dreams come to life, I’m also currently living my dream on set filming a biopic. 🎬✨

🙏🏽🥹
I prayed for this. I worked for this. I believed in this. And now I get to LIVE IT.

STATE OF ABUNDANCE.
And we’re just getting started. ✨

I present to you my first sculpture!

-A collector wanted a Medusa head on canvas but asked if I had any ideas to bring it to life. So I said let’s ditch the canvas & make it 3d! Thank god my clients believe in me because now I’m officially a sculptor! Of course I had to add locs for #BHM

Commissions now open for sculptures 🙏🏾

Had the pleasure of presenting @tysonchandler & @ptay22 with pieces commissioned to celebrate the retiring of their high school jerseys. Thanks to everyone who made the ceremony a success.
