"I am a self-taught artist from Newport News, VA. I began to pursue art as a child, drawing everything from cartoons, comics, action figures, and athletes. My inner thoughts and experiences are captured through layers of bright, bold colors and patterns coupled with images from my childhood, which are used to express myself. I consider my art a mix of pop and street art." -Marly Mcfly
