Welcome to my world — a place where imagination and truth share the same breath. Here, the stories of our past speak through torn paper and shadow, revealing beauty shaped by struggle and grace. My art lives in that fragile space between what is seen and what is felt, between the weight of memory and the promise of creation. Every stroke, every fragment, carries a question about who we are, what we choose to remember, and what we might still become.

My mother once asked why I would paint something that had nothing to say. Since that day, I’ve tried to make sure every stroke carries meaning — that beauty and truth walk side by side.

This is a map of a lifelong journey. Every image, every story, every mark has been gathered here so that you may feel the world behind the work — the places, the people, and the questions that shaped it. From Enduring Spirit to Brave New World, each series is a chapter in one unfolding narrative about truth, imagination, struggle, and grace. It has taken years to create because the story itself took a lifetime to live. These works were never meant to exist in silence. They speak for those who came before me and for those still waiting to be heard. I build this world so their voices — and mine — will not be lost to time or indifference.

 

My installation works expand the language of drawing and painting into immersive, physical space. Each environment invites viewers to step inside the world of my imagination — where charcoal figures, found materials, and symbolic light converge to confront the human condition. These installations are not static displays; they are experiences that ask the viewer to move, listen, and feel.

 

Whether exploring judgment and redemption in purgatory, the weight of memory, or the fragile hope of children facing a changing world, these works transform walls, floors, and suspended forms into living narratives. They blur the boundary between art and environment, drawing on African American art traditions, spiritual symbolism, and contemporary social commentary. Through scale, texture, and atmosphere, the installations embody what I seek in all my work — a space where beauty, truth, and reflection coexist in the same breath.

With an innovative perspective and commanding presence, this brilliantly composed self-portrait by the contemporary artist Tyrone Geter depicts a formative moment in his Lynn, Massachusetts studio in the 1970s. Born in Alabama, Geter studied art at Ohio University, where he became one of the first Black students to earn a Masters of Fine Arts in painting. He describes encountering the professional art world for the first time after moving to the Boston area, writing, “Thousands of artists lived and worked in Boston.

 

At the time, I could have easily been one of the worst artists in Boston. I had received my wake up call and it was neither quiet nor gentle. I spent the next five years in the studio working and learning.” The resolute expression in his eyes, turned upward to meet the viewer’s gaze, suggests Geter’s determination to become an artist. Seen from above, his studio is full of magazine clippings, palettes, and sketchy, unfinished works that evoke his creative process. On the drafting table, a work-in-progress showing the brown-skinned, round face of a child (a composite of different children that he depicted at the time) anticipates his lifelong interest in creating powerful portraits of young Black people.

Soon after completing this painting, he moved to Nigeria, which deepened his understanding of the African diaspora and also greatly shifted his style. This rare self-portrait captures the significance of the Boston-area art world to the development of his future career. Boston Museum Of Fine Art
