My Career in Art and Crime

Pre-School Graduation 

In addition to graduating pre-school and officially joining grade 1, my family and I had a photoshoot on graduation day. One of the last we did together as a group up until my college graduation day. It remains one of my earlier memories as a child, a time when I was so innocent and wholesomely enjoyed comic books and graffiti drawings, a sign of my interest in Art. 

Art Club Chair 

I was elected the Art club chair on my penultimate year in college, having the opportunity to organize and implement a couple of art ideas I had at the time, including an open-mic session for all types of artistic expressions, including acting poetry, visual, and digital art exhibitions. 

Graduation 

I graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree in criminology, a career and knowledge that I viewed from the perspective of art and blended significantly with my artistic goals 

My first Art Publication 

I indulged in painting and visual arts, attempting to visualize and develop the various concepts of identifying criminal behavior and developing criminal justice comics as a pastime. As a result, I got one of my comic strips published in the country’s main criminal journals. 

Setting up a Studio 

While working as a criminal behavior analyst, I also advanced my talents and abilities in drawing, seeing a significant level of success that pushed me to open my studio. 

First Solo Exhibition 

I developed a solo exhibition of visual artworks looking to analyze the criminal mentality and how it can be identified, mitigated, and rehabilitated. As a criminologist, my art was often skewed towards providing alternative solutions to crime within the community.
