The US Embassy in Brasilia, the Consulates in Rio and Sao Paulo selected me to be apart of their Cultural Envoy Program. I will create 3 murals in 3 cities in brazil along with other young artists and youth. Here I come Sao Paulo, Salvador, and Brasilia!!! I'm truly honored to have the opportunity to travel to a country I've never been, meet other artists, supporters of the arts, and of course create new works of art. I'm totally excited!
I'm here for 2 weeks and will be blogging each day, okay i'm off to a slow start because internet isn't the fasted at my hotel...but here we go...
