“Alie Badarah Rocky Koroma”

About the Artist

I am a native of Sierra Leone, West Africa, and a retired U.S. Army veteran with 23 years of active duty service. I migrated to the United States in 1988, seeking an education and a better life. I consider myself a born artist who grew up with the gift of drawing. Though I studied arts at the University of Maryland Global Campus. I probably did not learn much because every project was effortless, with an "A" as a final grade. My life in Africa and the military experience traveling in Europe gave me a whole other perspective to start my childhood dream to revolutionize the Art industry; drawing and painting. As a young man growing up in Freetown, Sierra Leone, arts and crafts have always been my passion. I am also a prolific writer and artist that works with mixed mediums producing beautiful artworks for the public to enjoy. I graciously admirers other artists' works and even have few collections from friends and artists I met traveling the world. My life passion is to create the best artwork for others to enjoy, and I have a desire to help other struggling artists worldwide gain exposure with their own creations.
