Art for me is being able to bring art to those that do not believe they need it. Growing up in Philadelphia the only art I was exposed to was Graffiti. Street art is the most influential of arts to me but I use it as a catalyst to experiment with the types of art that “I’m not supposed to be involved in” e.g. Pottery. My ultimate goal is to teach alternative art as well as pottery to inner city students to be able to expand the creativity of those children that come from where I do. Teaching in itself is an art, bringing all of the cumulative experience I have and implementing it to others, to add just one piece of their artistic experience.
