Grandma’s Dining Room Gallery: A Tribute to Generations
Come Roll My Hair; Stories from my Grandmother’s Dining Room is a journey, capturing and celebrating stories of hair, family, and patterns. Back in the day, my grandmas would call my siblings and I into her room at any given time to roll their hair with the iconic pink sponge rollers. It was a bonding moment for us that allotted time for story telling. Learning about their childhood, the family’s history, and secrets intertwined with the space of hair rolling time. Those moments with our elders helped us to define our identity and heritage by reflecting on our origin story. This collection is filled with art, memorabilia, tea, and film that help us to use hair as a tool for healing and self discovery. This exhibition is set right in the heart of the inspiration, my grandmother’s dining room. Book a viewing virtually from July 8- August 31, 2025 or in person if you happen to be in or visiting Memphis, TN.
“This was an amazing presentation that appeals to all the senses. The smells, the sight, the music. it really brings out the art. Just to hear the stories makes the art transcending pieces.”
“I knew that this would be transformative, but I had no idea how much I truly needed this. The heart is all in this room, and I deeply appreciate that.”
You’re invited to experience my gallery virtually or in person. Just like walking through in person, the virtual visit offers an intimate view into my world, with the added gift of hearing the inspirations and stories behind each painting, directly from me.
You’ll be able to connect with the art, the dining room that holds it, and even share your own stories and reflections. Whether you've sat in a room like this before or the feeling is brand new, there’s something waiting for you here.
Step inside, stay awhile, and let’s see what stories we stir up together.
