ABOUT

I reflect my passion for blues and jazz music and for those who create and appreciate it, in such versatile media as paper and clay.

With a background in African studies and history, I transformed my academic fascination with the blues culture into an artistic journey upon moving to the United States. During my first years here, I had a chance to explore and connect with vibrant music communities of Mississippi, New Orleans and East Texas. 

Whether I create sculptures or paintings, functional pottery or collages, I delve into the relationship between musicians and their audiences—and  how these relationships continue beyond the music venues.
