I'm a painter from the beautiful West Indies. I love colors and textures. I started painting at age 4 and have kept doing it everyday.

Painter files podcast throw back
Trying out a few different way to find episodes. YouTube asked it I would start a side channel on my channel for the podcast. We shall see. Season 3 had some bangers.
Enjoy Galeras.
Studio vlog video up tomorrow
Q and a
How would you improve your community?
I like to think I do it with representation. To make faces that look like them in my art. I try to put the culture in the art to help normalize it. To make me feel like home and hopefully others. If you can’t see yourself in your work how can others?

Q and a
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
I honestly draw a little over a cup of coffee before everyone wakes up. Sometimes the cats come find me for head rubs. I listen to some chill old Coltrane album very lightly.
Sometimes I read as the sun comes up.
Kerouac, Baldwin, Cisneros and Gaiman are some of my favorite authors this decade.
Always making
Painter’s Breakfast
Hola Galeras, hope you enjoyed the show.
I had the Salmon toast for Tacoma Bevco in Tacoma Park, Maryland.
The music playing at the beginning was an artist named Busdriver.
