What is Jawnism?
When I returned from Martha’s Vineyard, I couldn’t wait to get back into the studio. I dove right in—reworking old paintings and collages with fresh eyes and new energy.
While in Martha’s Vineyard, I met some amazing people, including Algernong Allen , who grew up in my old neighborhood in Southwest Philadelphia. We shared stories—about the good times, the tough lessons, and how our roots in Philly shaped who we became.
That conversation sparked something in me. It made me reflect on my journey as a storyteller and visual artist, and inspired me to fully embrace my history. From that moment, Jawnism was born.
What is Jawnism?
It’s my art movement—artwork inspired by the culture, memories, and lived experiences of growing up and living in Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs. Each piece carries a story, a moment, a memory from my childhood and adulthood.
