I would like to personally thank you for taking time to visit my website and also for viewing my art portfolio. As a child, I developed an immense passion for art. Growing up just outside the Atlanta city limits, I have always been intrigued with the architecture, landscape, and other amazing sites in the city.
As early as elementary school, I competed in an art competition for the American Red Cross and won first place. My artwork was later featured inside St. Joseph Children's Hospital located in Atlanta, Georgia. After this achievement, I continued to create various artworks to expand on my creativity. Often times I would even select random household items to draw (e.g. movie jackets, candy wrapper logos, and book covers) for practice.
Fast forwarding to my adult life, I was encouraged by another artist to finally venture into painting. Initially, I declined the idea stating that I was only interested in drawing and sketching. However, I eventually became inspired enough to try in efforts of relieving occasional stress as an active duty Air Force member. I gravitated towards the paintbrush and canvas.
After completing a few paintings to gain familiarity with various mediums, I decided to challenge myself with a tribute to Atlanta. The tribute painting received many accolades and sparked several commission opportunities. With the support of close family and friends, I decided to launch my art business/portfolio online to expand my artistic reach beyond my local community. I have received various awards and completed artwork for various celebrities/companies, to include: Jim McElwain (University of Florida Gators Head Football Coach), Mz. Shyneka (HOT 107.9 Atlanta Radio Personality), Dr. Naim Shaheed (Atlanta Falcons Podiatrist/Ankle & Foot Centers of GA).
