Visual Art ProfileThree years into a 9 year prison sentence, I was introduced to the arts. As one of the innovators of art and activism in the modern movement to end mass incarceration. My artwork is explicit, honest, and intentionally meticulous in many ways. As you navigate through my works you will find that I have uniquely utilized a multimedia approach to shaping the visual culture of Art and Activism in human rights advocacy and prison aesthetics.
