The Story
Born and raised in Lima, OH, I’ve been a working artist in Chicago for 25 years. My art is inspired by street culture, hip hop, sports, and optimism. I’ve painted countless Air Jordan 1s on canvas and created custom works that reflect each client’s story. I’ve even customized sneakers, hockey skates for Stanley Cup champ Adam Burish, and collaborated with the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Sky. My current series, What’s HER Net Worth?™, uses basketball nets as stencils to highlight gender inequality and promote empowerment. It’s grown from paintings to wearable art, including a Bulls collab with 50 one-of-one shirts. I’d love to bring that same message to these shoes—bold, hopeful, and empowering.
