The Frame Will Stay Painting

Hello thanks for taking the time to enjoy my page. I am from Detroit, Michigan and am 28 years old. I believe genres are segregation. I am about all things expression. I mainly paint on canvas, but also do photography, oil sketches, anyway for me to release the emotions I have in me at the time. My biggest influences are Gerhart Richter, Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Gordon Parks, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Banksy, and Jay-Z. I feel like the infusion of different avenues of expression help me broaden my style. I just started painting in 2011 because I wasn't happy with my life and figured I should try new things to see if they made me happy. In trying many different endeavors I immediately fell in love with visual art. Soon after I sold my first painting for a thousand dollars and the purchaser couldn't believe I had just started doing art. After the first painting was sold the collector had referred another to me who also loved the piece and its been going well since.
