A Black Boy Art Show

KARMA, Washington, DC

Framed portraits displayed at A Black Boy Art Show

I exhibited and vended at A Black Boy Art Show at KARMA in Washington, DC. The show helped me reconnect with my love of making art. For years, I created sporadically and shared my work only once or twice a year on Instagram. Talking with visitors and sharing the stories behind the work reminded me that what I make can have an impact beyond my own experience.

Creating has always been part of my healing. That day helped me see that sharing the work can be part of that healing, too—for me and for the people who encounter it. The photographs here document my work at the show.
