I am a mixed media figurative artist. My favorite art to create is Living nostalgia-a multi dimensional fusion of vintage portraiture and high-concept textile design. I like to bridge the gap between fine art and wearable expression. I create pieces that people can wear,walk past and feel transformed by.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is a conversation would be between two cities: the rugged nostalgic soul of my Detroit upbringing and the vibrant, mural-lined streets of San Francisco. I find beauty in the "analog everyday"-the grit of the Motor City.The way urban landscapes tell stories on massive scale.Im inspired by the defiance of a mural and the flow of the sidewalk,translating the pulse of the city living into wearable art and multi-dimensional portraits.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning would be the catalyst for the next era of my brands, VersaStyle Atelier and Finally Famous. I would secure a larger, multi-dimensional studio space to bridge the gap between my fine art painting and textile production. This investment allows me to scale my "wearable art" lines, purchase specialized equipment for custom garment creation, and fund larger community mural projects. For me, this isn’t just a prize—it’s the fuel to turn my creative vision into a global legacy.
