Untitled Self Portrait '19
" I first noticed a physical change of my skin at the age of 8. I went to vitiligo treatment centers for a while until eventually I decided to stop going. Having vitiligo gave me more reason to embrace all parts of myself. I think of my skin as this armor that is a constant reminder of how brave and courageous I can be. The beauty that I see in myself and others, and the liberation of being externally unique, greatly impacts who I am as an individual. It is best thing I consistently learn about myself and especially this past year."

The Queen
"A little something I did inspired by the many with vitiligo. This is from me to y'all." The beautiful imagery of this digital sketch is resounding as this queen wears her heart on her face as many of us living with vitiligo wear our hearts on our skin.
Morton
"His colors reminded me of this model [Curtis McDaniel] so I was like 'this...this is what I need him to be...perfection'"
This up and coming self taught artist is creating a "universe of characters" and we are looking forward to the stories!
Vitiligo Beauty
"This painting is a part of my new painting series titled ‘Redefining Beauty’ which challenges what society believes ‘real beauty’ is. It gives a voice to those who are not often represented in our culture." Inspired by Winnie Harlow.
