Language is life.

 

It is how we build community, preserve identity, and carry culture forward. It is how we express, connect, resist, and remember. Before I became a visual artist, I spent 26 years (going on 40) as a writer; learning the weight of words, their rhythm, their responsibility. In 2011, that journey expanded. One evening in my studio, I began developing my own visual lexicon, an Artconography™, rooted in the English alphabet and its deeper lineage - tracing back to the image-based communication of Ancient Kemet, through Phoenician and Greek systems, into the language we use today.

 

Abstracproseality™ was born from the desire to reconnect those two worlds; to merge writing and painting into a single, unified expression I call “technicolor prose.” Instead of walls or tablets, I use canvas. Instead of separating text from image, I layer letters and words into compositions that carry meaning both visually and linguistically. Each work contains embedded prose - stories, reflections, and observations - woven into the structure of the piece itself.

 

What emerges is a language you don’t just read. You experience.

 

These works speak to love, joy, pain, hope, peace, and the complexities of society. Sometimes the words are clear, sometimes they are obscured, but the intention is always present. I invite the viewer to engage beyond the surface to feel the language, to interpret it, to find themselves within it.

 

Abstracproseality™ is an evolving body of work. It continues to inform me as much as I shape it. It is both a personal language and a shared experience. One that honors where communication began while imagining where it can go.

 

This is the life in the prose. This is the journey.
