About the Artist
Hello, my name is Joshua Webster, I was born on November 8th of 1990 in Baltimore City at John's Hopkins hospital on Orleans Street, I'm Lumbee Native American, the Lumbee Tribe originated in Lumberton North Carolina, as well as my grandmother Dorothy Chavis before she decided to migrate to Baltimore to create better opportunities for her growing family. That eventually grew to 12 children, 6 girls & 6 boys', out of the 6 girls my mother was the youngest that was also born in Baltimore, but my mother now resides in North Carolina where our roots originated from.
How I grew to becoming a professional artist, I've been drawing since I could write my name, so I always loved art, but recently in the past few years I discovered during the pandemic of the covid-19 crisis that I'm an amazing painter. as I painted more & more the Native American programs I've been in since I was a child were also amazed by my talent & helped me get some of my artwork recognized by the Baltimore Center Stage. Who recently opened the first indigenous art museum / gallery of its kind. The Baltimore Center Stage loved my art & chose two of my art pieces to display for 12 mouths, on the first day of the grand opening, my art made such an impact that I was the only artist to sell my art. Since then, I was locally recognized by 2 major news outlets. Fox & WJZ news, & I just recently had an awesome interview with John's Hopkins University.
