A Brooklyn, NY native who's art is true to the current era showing a fresh perspective to NY. The practice of craft is experimental to a degree so that I can share a range of stories to people to give people something they can walk away with, which is why portraying art in the streets is important not just for business but the long term influence I can have on people. My work has been displayed publicly as a street vendor for about 4 years. It has been a way for me to make a living and also portray my photographs to an endless audience. As I say my work is about the streets so display photographs in the streets. Throughout the years I have worked with organizations like “Art on The Avenue” to install my photographs at Fulton Station and also the Brooklyn Methodist hospital during 2024 in part of public exhibitions. Throughout my career I have released 4 books including my latest project Subway Surfer based on my 4 year documentation of the subways system and my experience as a street vendor.
