Artist Statement
My art is a fusion of life and imagination, I take graffiti and morph it with fine art, combine it with an underlying message. This allows me to reach a wide variety of people. The image relates more to youth, the message to adults. My design pulls them together bringing them to the middle ground to which they relate.
I am about the message. My art is my voice, my protest, agreement, whisper, shot, and cry. “To see my artwork is to see me to understand my artwork is to think about the message it conveys. It is my life”.
