Mask, Horse, and Robot

I bring horses, masks, and robots together in large paintings that connect family history with the uncertainties of technology. The horse returns me to Kentucky, while the masks connect to my family's history in Nigeria. The robots entered these works in March 2026, after a close family member was scammed. Robots, looking like playful toys, came from studying the sculptures of Toby Fraley (Fraley's Robot Repair, Pittsburgh International Airport).
