About the Artist

I grew up in west Baltimore city, in park heights,I've spent pre k to 7th grade in Baltimore city public school then transferred to Baltimore county public school. Seeing those two drastic environments changed my outlook on life, mostly on how things should be,and how things are. Art has always been a release from park heights and made me feel like hope is near. A lot of my art centers around my life experiences,my culture,the contrasts in Baltimore streets and most of the time my outlook on life.I've had people tell me that art isn't a job that can sustain a healthy life, but I'll still be doing even if it makes me no money.
