Our identity makes up who we are. As an individual, we all have different layers of our identity; be it your gender, race, cultural or an athlete, artist, writer or whatever you think that makes you one of a kind. That is your identity. It makes you, you and no one else.

Identity Statement
Lately I have been looking in the mirror and I no longer see the little boy looking back at me. I see the man and artist that I want to be staring me in the eyes. I want the world to see the man and artist I have become in my time in prison. I thrive every day to perfect my craft and myself. This experience of coming to prison really opened my mind, heart and eyes to the type of man, father and artist that I want to be. Our past does not truly define who we really are. We can become more if we TRY!
What role does art play in your life?
Art plays a very important role in my life. It lets me escape and express how I feel inside. I find beauty in what others may say is dark or twisted but nothing is more beautiful than the unexplained.
