As a 21-year-old self-taught artist and business owner, creativity takes a prominent role in my life. For me, the most admired aspect of art is expressing oneself and representing one's culture, background, and who they are as a person through their work. My goal with House Composite is to represent Black culture in a new light and to inspire people through the art I create, showcasing the incredible people and culture. My favorite part of the process is being able to see your ideas come to life. Being able to envision an idea and then take the time to create a piece of art that personifies that vision is something that I love.

I feel that representation, especially within the Black community, is crucial and influential in a Black person's life. Growing up, I never really saw people who looked like me in the media and even in art. Motivated by the desire to see representation, I try to capture the beauty of Black culture to inspire people. Many of my pieces incorporate the colour blue, representing the depth and significance of the culture. My series called Anonymous stems from this idea of representation. It is a series that shows the beauty of Black people while allowing the viewer to see themselves in each piece and see that representation.

The creation of my art business, House Composite, has given me the privilege to learn a substantial amount about the business world while sharing my vision and passion for art
