My art journey merges spirituality, technology, and community to create works that captivate the eye and resonate with the soul. As a digital shaman, I blend traditional artistic techniques with technologies like AI, AR, and VR, exploring the infinite possibilities when the physical and digital worlds converge. Through Starseed World, my digital arts school, I empower underserved communities by teaching essential skills in technology and design. My mission is to demystify the metaverse, providing young adults with opportunities in the digital economy, reflecting my commitment to social justice and educational equity. Storytelling and cultural preservation are central to my work. Projects like the "Starseeds of Turtle Island" AR mural share untold stories of my Black Indian Indigenous roots, illuminating narratives often overlooked. Each piece invites viewers to engage with their histories and envision new futures. A significant achievement is my portrait of Kobe Bryant, which inspired Spike Lee's documentary "Kobe Doin Work" and is now in the Academy Award Museum. This work underscores my belief in art's transformative power—to inspire, heal, and elevate consciousness. In all my endeavors, I aim to uplift and inspire, using art as a force for positive change and self-actualization.
