Visual Art – Washington, D.C.

I\'m a self taught artist born and raised in Brooklyn NY. I\'m the oldest of two children. I attended Howard University in 1992 to study business management. Art has always been a part of my life. I started drawing at an early age. I mainly focused on graffiti and comic book characters. My parents exposed me to all types of art growing up. We would frequent Greenwich Village, and go to the parks in Brooklyn to hear the live bands. The street performers were always my favorite, because they always had something new in their performances. As I grew older I realized that my art is a great way for me to express myself.I enjoy using various mediums. My favorite medium right now is acrylic.
