Mediums on A Canvas: Painting at Budwieser Made In America NYC Party!

Summer has been a great journey of growth. I had to push myself beyond what I have had to once do in the past. I have been given some good opportunities to showcase my work and have learned much more about myself and my audience in the process.

I was chosen as the artist to do a live painting on a guitar during a concert event. Little did I know how major it was going to be. I was chosen to paint the New York guitar during the New York City concert stop on the Budweiser Made in America Tour at the Roseland Ballroom. Given a 6 hour time frame, I decided to freestyle my concept and dedicated my approach to the hustle and bustle experiences many have living in New York. It's the Land of Opportunity and taking chances as a New Yorker, has inspired me throughout the process. The mindblowing part about the experience was that what I was painting was happpening to me-- a chance taken. It was truly an amazing experience and I am so grateful to be apart of it.

The festival curated by Jay-Z took place at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in my hometown Philadelphia, PA from Aug 31-Sept 1st. All of the 29 tour guitars made their way to the Budweiser Beer Garden where they were showcased for the Festival.

A big thank you to Big Shoulders Video and Budweiser for having me as a part of this experience!
