My work explores the nuances of human connection and emotion through an interplay of

painting and drawing. Recently my practice which includes installation and large-scale

street murals has moved away from traditional portraiture. I am now approaching the

people I paint as archetypes, rather than representing specific individuals.

This hybrid approach stems from the what often feels like a nomadic life lived and my dual

British-Ghanaian heritage. Painting for me is tied to community and though this perpetual

search for home I navigate what it means to exist in-between, to hold multiple truths and

acknowledge multiple ways of seeing. My practice becomes a site of negotiation, where I

make sense of fragments of heritage, where history, and contemporary life coexist.

Influenced by the sampling techniques of the hip-hop music I grew up listening to, I

repurpose existing imagery to construct something new. These images often begin as

digital collages, bringing together archival material, online sources, memory, and

observational drawing. This is where I do my working out before the art making where I

utilize a myriad of mediums including oil paint, charcoal, and spray paint.

My work centers my community while increasingly exploring how belonging is formed and

fractured across wider social and cultural contexts. I am drawn to the subtle dynamics of

intimacy: the tenderness of friendship, the quiet tensions within family, and the shifting

boundary between connection and isolation. Grounded in remixing, my work constructs

images that depict moments that never existed, yet still feel true.
