How it all started...

The earliest memory I have is a faint image of a little boy with a pencil, creating. I’ve been told that I was born with a gift. I believe the other side of that equation is that it was up to me to accept that gift or kindly decline and return to sender. I accepted, emphatically.

There was a point in time where I wanted more. I grew too complacent and comfortable with pencils and pens and wanted to… explore deeper. So in 2006, in the third month of my four year journey in New York City, I picked up the brush and haven’t set it down since.

​

Self Taught

As a self taught painter, the voyage is exciting, intriguing, and humbling but most of all worth it. I created my own rules and broke them when ever I felt it was needed.

I experimented and pushed myself in unimaginable ways. I was able to dive into a painting when I wanted to escape the city, escape my problems, escape humanity. The one thing I couldn’t escape was...myself. In breaking free of everything else I was forced to spend quality time with myself, my mind, and my spirit. I was starting to understand who I was an artist, as a human being, as a man.

​

                                   I paint to feel free, I paint to live, I paint to breath.

Experience

I’ve been painting professionally for over a decade now with nine solo showings and twenty nine over all public exhibitions.

I’ve completed over 300 paintings which includes personal paintings for showings as well as personal commissions and murals for businesses in Detroit and the metro Detroit area.

My Future...

I am relentless in my inevitable persistence in my artistry. I will never cease being an artistic force. I will not stop until the last breath is had. My goal is to become a household name, to be studied in classes tens of years from now, to make six figures off of every painting while I'm still living, to have my name known hundreds of years from now and to break sales records for original art sold along with the names of Leonardo Da Vinci, Jean Michel Basquiat and Vincent Van Gogh.
