“I just didn’t quit. That’s the only distinguishing quality from me and probably whoever else is going through this, or went through this or is gonna go through this, is I ain’t quit” - Nipsey Hussle

 

Born and raised in Annapolis, Maryland, art and creating has always been one of my first loves. I started off just drawing my favorite cartoon characters in my room, to drawing when I get a chance to at jobs. Painting was never a thought in my mind. After not drawing a single picture for years, one day I decided to attempt a painting idea using acrylic paint (because that was the only type of paint I knew about outside of watercolor) and that started my current journey to pursue a passion.

Later down the line I discovered oil painting and portraiture. Then, just like anything else I do in life, I jumped right in and started doing my homework, studying, and practicing my craft. I signed up for an online self-paced oil painting course to learn some techniques and that one course gave me some tools that would boost my confidence in sharing my work with the world. I am also a self-taught logo designer, so in my creative practice I also use my graphic design background in composing works and designing apparel using my artwork.

I have been painting for 11+ years and have been blessed to be able to sell my work locally and online for the past five years. I would not have grown to become the artist that I am today without the support of my family, community, day one supporters and collectors. For that I am forever grateful for all of you that have been following and supporting me in any way, shape or form.
