BIO OF 1ST PLACE WINNER: RA Powell

RA Powell’s artistic journey had its roots in his early years, where he was inspired by his uncle, a New York Commercial Artist. This influence motivated him to delve into the world of creativity through art. Powell’s initial foray into art involved drawing cartoons and lettering, which likely served as a foundation for his future artistic endeavors. As he continued to nurture his talents, Powell pursued further development in the field of art by attending Florida A & M University in Tallahassee, Florida.

At the university, he studied both Architectural Engineering and Fine Arts, which suggests a well-rounded approach to his artistic education. His dual focus on both architecture and fine arts may have influenced the way he approached his artistic projects and contributed to the depth and detail of his work.

One of Powell’s key goals in his artistic endeavors was to challenge himself to create highly detailed and lifelike drawings, so much so that they appeared as if they could communicate with the viewer. This kind of dedication to realism and detail is often a hallmark of exceptional artistry.

In addition to his artistic work, Powell also managed to establish a significant presence on social media. This helped him gain recognition and appreciation from notable figures and institutions such as Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, the Universal Hip Hop Museum, and several other artists in the hip-hop industry. This recognition and following on social media likely played a crucial role in expanding the reach and impact of his website www.artinyourcart.com

RA Powell’s artistic achievements include multiple awards, such as the American Art Awards in several categories. These awards serve as recognition of his exceptional talent and contributions to the art world. His artistic works, including both paintings and drawings, were prominently showcased at the Tubman African American Museum in a solo art show titled “A Night at the Museum.” Such an exhibition at a respected institution like the Tubman Museum is a significant achievement and indicates the high regard and visibility of Powell’s work in the art community. www.Artinyourcart.com
