Born and raised in Queens, New York, I create art that reflects the city’s rhythm—its movement, memory, and energy. Inspired by weathered walls, fleeting graffiti, subway tracks, and the poetry of old-school hip-hop, my work blends urban textures with personal emotion.
Each piece bridges past and present—transforming hardship into resilience and memories into vivid color. As a father of three, my journey is one of growth, with exhibitions including the Everyday Fathers (2025), Black Boy Art Show (2025) and M.A.E’s Melanin in Motion (2025).
Through my art, I invite you to see life shaped by love, perseverance, and the ever-changing spirit of NYC.
Everyday Fathers 2025
Everyday Fathers 2025 is a heartfelt visual journey celebrating the bond between fathers and their children from the first moments of life to the school years filled with milestones, laughter, and lessons. Featuring portraits of fathers with roots or connections to Queens, NY, the collection captures the universal beauty of fatherhood while honoring its unique expressions in our community. Each image tells a story of love, guidance, and presence, reminding us that everyday moments often hold the deepest meaning.
