I am a multidisciplinary artist who works in photography, video and sculpture.  I received my B.A. from Hunter College in 1994 and completed the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program in 2001. I have exhibited at the Studio Museum in Harlem, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Science Museum, London; Smithsonian Museum of Art, El Museo del Barrio; National Museum of Art, Reina Sofía, Madrid and 10th Havana Biennial.  Awards and residencies include the Studio Museum in Harlem Artist-in Residence Program in 1999; New York Foundation for the Arts Grant, Crafts 2002 and Photography 2008; Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, 2002; Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant 2002 and 2008 and Anonymous Was A Woman Award, 2019.  My book, The Supper Club, (Hirmer 2019) critically acclaimed by The New York Times, brings together artists, scholars and performers of diasporic cultures, through photography, food and dialogue to examine race and culture in the United States.
