ABOUT THIS PAINTING
A reminder to key into what matters the most.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I grew up in Brooklyn, New York and have been incarcerated for over 30 years. I taught myself to paint to manage crippling anxiety that has followed me my entire life. That personal healing led me to create Colorful Transformations, a 12-week program inside Lawrenceville Correctional Center that teaches men how to use art to manage anxiety, stress, and depression. I have led multiple sessions of the program and plan to work with young people through art when I come home.
