In 2021, while still working my job in Medicare insurance, I decided to give art a real shot — selling my work on the side. The response was immediate. People weren't just buying paintings; they were connecting with them.

God’s hand was in motion

In 2022, God moved again — I was laid off. Instead of despairing, I took it as the blessing it was and gave my art everything I had. Commissions came. Media features followed.

But the accolades were never the point. My true motivation is spreading joy, inspiration, encouragement, and hope through my paintings. Every stroke carries resilience and determination — the same two things that carried me. My motto is simple: the hustle will make the dream the reality. That's why I continue to create today.

The Name

I'm an artist in every sense of the word — music, dance, acting, poetry. I love to play on words. People call me Dee, and the core of a person is the heart. Art made to live on your walls is called décor. Put them together and you get Deecor — because in every piece, I give you something from my core: artwork from my heart, for your walls.

The style has a name, too — I coined it elevated graffiti. It's the city's graffiti grown up: the same bold color, splatters, and drips, but painted slow, with purpose and detail, to live in homes and galleries. Chaos mixed with order — because that's what life is, and that's what resilience looks like.
