A LIFETIME OF EXTRAORDINARY ART
The Beginning Of A Journey
EVERY COLLECTION HAS A BEGINNING
We create the products of the future. Our cutting-edge technology, visionary team and unrelenting work ethic put us miles ahead of the competition.
Every collection has a beginning. Mine begins thousands of miles from where I was born, in northern Nigeria, where I lived and worked for seven years. The people, landscape, and rhythms of daily life changed the direction of my work and became the source of many of the drawings that followed. These drawings are more than early works. They are the foundation upon which everything that followed was built.Binta, Gimbiya, and Sallah Rider open this Collector’s Print Program because they represent the beginning of that journey and the values that continue through my work today.

Welcome to my world—shaped by memory, observation, and lived experience.
For more than five decades I have explored people and the circumstances that shape their lives through drawing, painting, collage, mixed media, and digital art. My years in northern Nigeria, my experience as an African American artist, family, travel, faith, joy, struggle, and humor have all found their way into the work.
The subjects change, but the questions remain: Who are we? How do we endure? What do we leave behind?
At its heart, my work has always been about people and the dignity, strength, humor, and grace with which they meet the world.
