He is a mostly self-taught painter and designer from Philadelphia, raised in the city’s vibrant visual and performing arts scene. Art became his lifeline during a troubled youth—one of the few ways he could step away and survive. Over the years he taught himself many languages of mark-making: graffiti’s boldness, illustrative detail, realism’s patience, and ever-evolving modes of expression.

His work shifts with his state of mind. Each painting is treated like a person—unique, alive, and meant to move through the world on its own terms. His art explores faith, culture, vulnerability, and the stories that make us human.
