I'm a 37 year old Visual artist born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. Starting from a young age my life revolved around art; drawing cartoon characters, writing bubble letters, even drawing on my classmates clothes while in class. In middle school I had the opportunity to attend classes at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and in high school I had my art displayed in the halls. I was a resident artist at The Meroe Gallery in Baltimore in 2010, a part of "Becoming" an artshow for students at the Community College of Baltimore County in 2013 and in 2014 was accepted into The Corcoran College of art and Design as a Photography/ Art education major.

 

I believe my inspiration for all things custom started with my mother. She never let me "follow the crowd", making sure I had what I needed, but not what everyone else had. As a child I couldn't see the benefit in that, but as an adult I realize it has made me the Artist I am today. So now I've dedicated myself to my artistic endeavours not only personally but also as a living. I work in a variety of mediums choosing not to limit myself. A good portion of my art is based on feelings and emotions. In order for me to feel a piece or pieces are successful I must feel some sort of deep connection. Without that in my opinion no piece can truly convey what I was thinking or feeling while I was creating. I tend to create pieces that are not always as they appear on the surface. I like to invite the viewers to have their own personal experience with my works. I mostly leave my pieces untitled because I feel by adding a name to a piece it somehow puts the viewers thoughts and perception of the piece in a box.

 

In an effort to share my art with the world in 2007 I started 360S3V3N Customs©; specializing in hand painted wearable art and accessories. In 2015 I decided to expand the brand beyond wearable art and renamed it NonStop HeART Customs©. NonStop HeART (NSHC) now encompasses all things artistic that I love; from painting, drawing, home decor, photography and even prop design. I am dedicated to creating one of a kind custom artwork for my own pleasure as well as my customers through NonStop HeART Customs©. So if you're looking for a piece that is hand painted whether it be apparel. paintings, drawings, home decor, footwear or accessories I got you covered. Some of my other artistic endeavours include SLM Photography©, The Will Of Sharks (TWOS)©, CLRS (Create*Love*Respect*Sacrifice)©, & Living iLL©.

 

I do commission work upon request, so please don't hesitate to contact me for a quote on your one of a kind piece or feel free to donate and help me continue my career as a freelance entrepreneur.
