Artist Statement

Buffalo Soldier became the catalyst for my ongoing series, Beast Within, a body of work exploring the profound relationship between humanity and the animal kingdom. Inspired by the resilience and strength embodied by both the buffalo and the historic Buffalo Soldiers, this piece reflects the qualities that make us powerful, enduring, and deeply connected to nature.

The buffalo stands as a symbol of perseverance, protection, and quiet strength, while the figure represents the cultural legacy and spirit of those who have overcome adversity and left a lasting impact on history and on my own life. Together, they create a portrait of identity, honor, and inner fortitude.

Beast Within is a celebration of the majestic qualities we share with animals and a tribute to the greatness of humankind—particularly through my culture and the people whose courage, wisdom, and determination continue to inspire me. Through this series, I seek to remind viewers that within each of us lies a powerful spirit waiting to be recognized and embraced.
