My Story & Mission
I was born in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, June 19, 1974 and discovered art early in life. I began developing drawing and painting skills in school. In 1992, I began college at Parsons Paris, School of Design in France where life and art began to sync.
I produced hundreds of life drawings, sculptures, paintings and dove into studies in color and design. When I returned to the States in the mid 90’s, I continued studying Renaissance, Classical and Modern Art.
In 2008, I began experimenting with a new style of work by combining Abstract with Cubism. I have over 240 sketches, drawings and designs for oil paintings in my AGGA Collection. AGGA is currently divided into twenty-one series and scheduled for production over thirty years; all with divine inspiration and messages within each piece, otherwise known as Modern Biblical Art.
Shortly after the birth of AGGA, I launched a new Collection titled FACES. FACES are works of Mixed Media pieces on Canvas, Linen, Wood Panels, Di-Bond Brushed Aluminum Panels, Bas-Relief Sculptures and Liquid Chrome Sprayed Canvas. FACES depict close up images of of all types of human emotions, and of every living thing on earth in an abstract style. FACES was inspired by my son Noah, and new works are produced daily in conjunction with AGGA.
In 2020, I began exploring the emerging world of NFTs, which opened new possibilities for artists through blockchain-based ownership, digital wallets, and ongoing royalties from sales. I minted my first NFT on OpenSea in April 2021 and have since created more than 100 NFT works across platforms including OpenSea, Rarible, and Portion. Beyond minted pieces, I also use unminted creations as content to merge onto the Artivive Platform, transforming static artwork into AR experiences that viewers can access on mobile devices for a more immersive and interactive way to experience art.
