Next month I will be opening my studio to the public with regular hours and appointments. I will be hosting my grand opening on Saturday July 20th, 2024, from 3pm to 7pm. Please join me to help celebrate this new journey. My artwork will be on display and for purchase. I am excited and would be honored with your presence. 

I had the privilege of connecting with my former co-workers (friends) this past Saturday. Lupe was in search of the perfect piece of art for a space in her home. She found what she was searching for. Thank you, Lupe, for your support. 

Wednesday June 5th was a great day as Diana and Violet stopped by  the studio and purchased 3 painings. 

I want thank Berkeley and Isaiah for stopping by my studio/gallery on Wednesday May 29th and purchasing the attached painting called “Inside Paradise”. They were the first visitors to acquire one of my pieces of work just days after I opened my studio/gallery to the public. Thanks again for your support!

Happy Thanksgiving! I have been spending time in my studio producing more works for my upcoming solo show next month in Pasadena. I will be introducing some new artwork for 3 days in the Pasadena Paseo on December 22nd, 23rd and 24th.  The location will be 300 E. Colorado, Suite 131 (Jade’s Fashion) located at the west end of the Paseo. Hope to see you there.

On Saturday, the 25th, I will be selling prints at the Los Feliz Flea Market (Marshall High School in Los Angeles) from 11:00am to 5:00pm.

Everyone,
I wanted to extend my sincere appreciation to everyone that was able to attend the show. I want to also thank all of you who could not attend but have extended your support. I am eternally grateful. The show was a remarkable success and the feedback I received was invaluable. Though this is all new for me, everyone that I had the opportunity to interact with was very gracious and encouraging. I will be going back to my studio and focus on creating new pieces of work. 
Thank you and God bless. 

We are just 9 days away from my next show. I have been working on new pieces for the show. In addition, pieces by some future artists will be on display as well. There will be prints of the original painting available for purchase along with the book titled “Black Civilians Tuskegee Army Airfield WWII.” This is a true story of one man’s experience as a civilian contractor among 150 Black men and women recruited by the US Government to support Tuskegee Airmen during their training.

Hello everyone, I am having my next show in just 3 weeks. Save the date. I will be introducing some new works and am very excited. Show up anytime between 10:00 am and 7:00 pm. 

My son Hassan and granddaughter McKenzie came out to share the moment and provide their support for my very first show.
