Paintings from the Golden Age continue to captivate and haunt me. In this series I draw inspiration from the golden baroque frames, rich tints and hues and the otherworldly technical skill. At the same time, I feel a disconnection to these works as well. I remain haunted by the historical representation of black faces in classical western art and culture. Though a photographer, not a master painter, I have a lingering devotion to create contemporary imagery with hints of renaissance references celebrating the often hidden beauty of people of color.
