Long before formal art training or commissioned public walls, my visual language was forged in the streets. A lifelong connection to letterforms, wheatpaste, and uncommissioned public interventions continues to ground my studio work—bringing raw texture, spontaneity, and guerrilla mark-making directly into my fine art practice.

What started as a small hip-hop blog in 2011 rapidly grew into a global platform for emerging creatives—and the foundation of a decade-long collaboration with West Coast artist Jetpack Jones. From early mixtape artwork to full album covers and single packaging, this long-standing creative partnership and friendship has represented a shared evolution in music, visual art, and independent culture.

Public art isn't just on city walls—it’s in how we share tools and ideas with future artists. On WHYY's Albie’s Elevator, I collaborated as a featured artist to introduce youth to hands-on art-making, bridging gallery practice with accessible public media.

My creative practice grows from a belief that art, like life, should sustain itself. I build an ecosystem of reuse and renewal—recycling old paintings, repurposing textiles, finding raw materials on the streets, and turning trash into layered new forms. This cycle of transformation mirrors a larger commitment to live and create resourcefully, with curiosity, minimality, and intention.

Publication design was my first language. Years of shaping print projects and magazines laid the foundation for my approach to visual hierarchy and pacing. When I pivoted back to academia at PAFA to refine my painting, that editorial expertise was put straight to work by the college's Marketing Department—crafting annual reports and campus collateral alongside my studio studies.

Outdoor artworks serve as a bridge between studio research and public dialogue. By combining bold imagery with rich, painterly narratives, my outdoor projects aim treat urban architecture as a living canvas—creating lasting visual landmarks rooted in identity, resilience, and shared story.

My practice as a painter begins long before the brush touches canvas—it starts behind the lens. What began in my youth collecting vintage cameras and teaching myself film photography grew into shooting portraiture for models and directing music videos for friends. Today, photography remains a critical keystone in my creative process.

Like Barkley L. Hendricks, I use portrait photography to study posture, attitude, and contemporary culture, capturing raw reference images that serve as the blueprint for my figurative paintings and public works.

Blurring the line between high fashion, studio art, and street culture. Grounded in a decade of independent apparel drops and early brand design work, my archive explores streetwear not just as merchandise, but as an extension of my studio practice—turning garments into canvas, structure, and story.

As a child of the 90s, an intrigue with animation and frame-by-frame storytelling was practically built into my DNA.

What started as a fascination with Saturday morning cartoons and claymation has grown into an experimental extension of my studio practice. I use animation to bring tactile textures, hand-made movement, and narrative pacing into physical motion.
