ABOUT.

Art is a gift from above, a gift of limitless visual expression translated through THE spirit. I feel obligated to use this gift to create my best work possible but more importantly inspire many through the messages that ARE embedded within my work. I am a multimedia artist principally engaged in painting, photography, and apparel design. My passion to professionally pursue art was REIFIED after I created my clothing brand ‘Phantom’ in high school which was well receiveD. The themes throughout my catalog visually conceptualize my spiritual beliefs, historical events, the human condition, life, death, heartbreak, race, masculinity, religion, esotericism, good vs evil, and existentialism. Regarding my photography, I capture black and white candids with a starkly sharp and grainy film aesthetic that showcases everyday people from all walks of life. The photographs are intended to demonstrate the nuanceD atmosphere and human emotion shown BY different people amongst various locations. The atmosphere of my photos are rooted in the subjects, places, and the cultural elements captured. My paintings are composed of ABSTRACT semi-realistic portraits as well as geometric abstractions that play on emotion, subversion, and symbolism. The viewer is taken into the unknown, relying on the symbolic elements within the composition to ultimately unravel what is in question. Phantom was originally inspired by my adolescencE. The designs of my apparel represent the insurgent AND introspective themes IN REGARDS TO ADOLESCENCE. As of now, the brand predominantly takes inspiration through my faith. The ghosts that are common within my clothing and my other art represent souls, particularly lost souls separated from all that is holy. These characters are tormented, dismal, and at times gory, in need of redemption and reconciliation with God through LORD Jesus Christ. Any type of media that an artist actively pursues can be a cyclic and CONTINUOUS exploration to assimilate new information and convey this UNto others. This exploration can align with the initial aims of an artist WHILE concurrently addING to them, ULTIMATELY helping to solidify THE vision OF THE ARTIST. Art is a  blessing from heaven that should not ever glorify me, but only God. I am merely a vessel. I’M VERY GRATEFUL. Ultimately, the passion is what makes my artistic journey continual... 

THANK YOU.
