My body of work speaks about culture, economic status, and racial issues. I have incorporated stereotypical imagery of African Americans in the United States history and some of the unhealthy, and the popular lifestyles encouraged through the media that affect the Black community. I have created parodies of some advertisements in my series using marker and graphite on paper. I focus on issues by utilizing the history of and current trends in advertising using the scale and changing the text to make each piece satirical. I am focusing on a few specific topics that affect the Black community such as food deserts, obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and different cancers.
