Artist Statement

As an artist it was always a goal to express myself through means of creativity. I am an Advertisement Design major at Bowie State University in Visual Communication & Digital Media Arts (VCDMA). At a young age I knew I would be creative. I was always fascinated with drawing characters from my favorite cartoons. I knew I always wanted to create something that would give people inspiration and a nostalgic feeling. My first interaction with art came from finding my father's folder with his drawings from when he was in high school and college career in the 90s which featured characters such as The Transformers and made-up characters. From there I found my niche in graphic design during the Myspace era making web layouts and editing photos in creative ways.
