"@wk" spring 2009

introduction:
I am a Jamaican-born painter, artist, and photographer living in Washington DC. I pay the bills with my mad web skillz (that's an ironic 'z'), but I seek further artistic exposure (and rejection letters).

My works are studies of theory, design, and unconventional execution in visual art. Currently, my paintings focus on the unique qualities of abstract negative space, wherein the total composition is merely implied with skillful use of related colours and forms. My photographs, sculpture, and digital works are focused mainly on the creative process, as opposed to the final product.

I began to formally study art at the age of twelve, and I've studied at the University of Maryland and The Corcoran College of Art.

This photo, from 2007 Folklife Festival, is IMO an almost perfectly colour-balanced composition. I wonder if it was planned, or just what they had on hand.	'spools' treated photograph spring 2009
