Artist Statement
My portfolio is primarily composed of materials such as pencil, Copic markers, and
acrylic paint. It offers me a sense of control and organization in my artwork. Structure is
the most crucial factor that I consider when creating items. I want my audience to
visualize contextual clues, motivations, and interpretations of the story that my artwork
is attempting to portray.
I create immersive pieces by combining computer images with actual artwork. In turn,
the audience will see what is required to physically produce some of the pieces. I
believe it's crucial to share some of these qualities with your audience since they
demonstrate authenticity and passion.
Telling a story is crucial, with pictures centered on inclusivity and bringing individuals
who are underrepresented to the forefront. I hope that my artwork will help to create
space and promote the progress of different communities in general. Serving as a
catalyst for revealing untapped power in reclaiming their cultural heritage and identities.

About the Artist
Jerome was born on October 20, 1997, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His earliest experiences with art were in second grade using a molding template. Drawing creative characters and creatures from something so simple. Though what set his heart a blaze for "The Arts" was when his teacher, Ms. Susan shared with him her art box. She stated that she drew a lot when she was a kid and now, she wanted him to have it. Time went on and he soon developed an interest in graphic design through pencil drawings. People of color inspire his works and are frequently his inspiration.
