A LITTLE
ABOUT JAH

Jah is a queer self-taught artist from North Carolina based in Philadelphia, P.A. His work centers intimacy, identity, and self-expression in large-scale figurative oil paintings. Jah developed a passion for painting to express themselves after studying Graphic Design at North Carolina A&T. During his time in Greensboro, he received accolades from his creative community. Jah has continued to develop his career in Philadelphia through collaborations with Mural Arts, Davinci Art Alliance, and InLiquid Gallery. 

 

Through murals, paintings, and mixed-media works, Jah has explored the intersectional experience of being black and trans. Influenced by dreams, death, love, sex and gender, Jah creates bold and expressive artwork. Jah seeks to honor the lives, rights, and visibility of black queer folks.
