Berwyn Resident, Artist, Muralist
Born and raised in the northwest side of Chicago. I grew up inspired by hip hop culture, fell in love with breaking and graffiti art at a young age. After high school, I focused on breaking, competing nationwide, judging, instructing, and organizing events. In 2013, I revived my passion for art, honing my skills through show cars, art shows, murals, and collaborations. In 2020, I joined the newly formed PAINT THE CITY, painting boarded-up businesses with messages of peace, love, and unity during BLM protests. I see the value in art connecting with the community creating a welcoming and forward-thinking environment. I am community oriented and aim to help spread the love of art. Moved into Berwyn in 2022 with my partner Marisa and our vibrant daughter Luna we quickly fell in love with everything Berwyn has to offer. Now as a board member of BPAI I hope to give back and add more art and color to the city of Berwyn.
