Story:
In 2024, I officially launched The Art of Love Gallery, which currently focuses on selling limited and open-edition prints by a range of Black and African artists. Without a permanent storefront, my gallery exists wherever I pop up—at shows, on the street, and online.

My journey into the art world began when I was a child, thanks to my parents. They met through art and spent years selling prints and taking me and my sister to art shows. Our home was filled with Black art, and through their passion, I came to appreciate the creativity and cultural richness it represented. Watching them work and how people gravitated towards the work sparked a deep desire in me to carry on their legacy.

In 2019, I began laying the foundation to open my own gallery. Over the next five years, I worked at the Richard Beavers Gallery in New York to learn the ins and outs of the business. That experience, combined with my upbringing and personal research brought me to where I am today.

My parents didn’t realize the impact they were making when they filled our home with Black art. They were simply sharing something they loved. They were surprised when I told them I wanted to take it further—but now, as they near retirement, they’ve come full circle. They’ve jumped back in, helping me at shows, shipping artwork, and securing supplies. It’s been incredibly meaningful and special to have their support, and I can see the joy it brings them to re-engage with something they’ve always been passionate about.
