About the Artist

Waymond Harrison is an artist whose life is a testament to transformation through creativity. From a young age, he found himself ensnared in a cycle of legal troubles, spending much of his youth in and out of juvenile facilities and prisons. It was in Los Angeles, at the age of 30, during a lengthy incarceration, that he first encountered the redemptive power of art. Surrounded by the starkness of prison walls, he began painting, using materials from the prison print shop, and immersing himself in the works of legendary artists like Picasso, Basquiat, and Kerry James Marshall.

Art became his refuge, a means of self-expression, discipline, and personal growth. Through painting, Waymond discovered a profound sense of purpose, channeling his experiences into works that speak to resilience, introspection, and the capacity for change. His journey reflects not only the pain of the past but the beauty of reinvention — a powerful reminder of how art can illuminate the path to healing and self-discovery.
