Charleston Murals – Power & Glory

May 21, 2014

I grew up in downtown Charleston and I always found inspiration in the historical architecture even if I found some of the conservative attitudes stifling.  To have my murals going up around these historic and beautiful neighborhoods is amazing.  I’m grateful to the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art and the Cultural Affairs Department of Charleston for supporting me because I think public art and street art are still controversial.  I was arrested in Charleston in 1996 and it’s exciting that I’m back doing a show at the Halsey and having the support of the local art community.
