Yes, I was born a creative from a long line of resilient prolific & mystic storytellers. The process of art making is intuitive, instructive and most necessary for me. I am quite sure if you cut me I would bleed paint, peel me and a print would unfurl, chip away at my brain and painted prose would spill out from my core! Born hard-wired to replicate what I see, the creative process is an intuitive one for me that is greatly informed by the mystic beauty of the natural world and my experiences with death and impermanence. In my infancy, it was the death of my mother followed by its relentless recurrence over the course of my lifetime that has driven me to seek out, replicate and create all that I can and cannot see to explore these confounding mysteries. I breath, I paint, I live in an attempt to capture what I have observed in my travels around the world, over land and sea, and find place in it. A Jamaica born, Brooklyn based artist, I use artifacts from my life experiences pulled from memory and observation, my work is layered in process: Mixed media paintings, printmaking, sculpture, paper making, Installation, photography/video essay & prose combine to create my own archetype, a universal language of images found and remembered that speaks to the diversity of my heritage, lived experiences and reverence for the mystic found in our natural world. |

Overjoyed & Honored to be accepted into Ma’s House Residency Program! @mashousestudio Ma's House
I cannot wait to see how the wisdom of the Shinnecock People and the natural landscapes they preserve will impact the works I will create in my residency & beyond. Thank you @jeremynative, the Shinnecock Nation and Ancestor ‘Princess Silva Arrow’ (Loretta Silva also know as ‘Ma’) for opening your home, heart and wisdom to making a safe creative space for #BIPOC artists grow! #thankyou
Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio is led by Indigenous artist Jeremy Dennis. The house will serve as a communal art space based on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation in Southampton, New York. The family house, built in the 1960s, will serve as Dennis’ house to manage the project that includes a residency program for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), art studio, library, along with hosting an array of art and history-based programs for tribe members and the broader local community.
Since June 2020, Indigenous visual artist and photographer Jeremy Dennis has endeavored to restore the Silva family home he grew up in to make Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio (hereinafter referred to as “Ma’s House”) a communal and safe space for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) artists to create work, participate in artist residencies and be offered a place to exhibit their contemporary work on the Shinnecock Indian Reservation. Dennis hopes that Ma’s House will be a space for creativity, healing, imagining, and liberation.
