CLR LVN

MIXED MEDIA ARTIST

I used to paint as a child but stopped because I doubted its value and self-doubt. I focused all my energy on finding a stable career and overcoming life's challenges. One day, my therapist asked about my childhood passions, which lead me to connect with my artistic talents in a journey of rediscovery. Balancing my inner dreamer with my critic as an artist has been challenging but immensely rewarding, teaching me about both the world and myself.

CLR LVN (pronounced CLEAR LIVIN) draws inspiration from his community, travels, and life experiences to create unique and meaningful art. A self-proclaimed Renaissance Man, CLR LVN creates art with narratives through his expertise in interior and graphic designs, meditation, mindfulness, and storytelling.

In childhood, art was his refuge to soothe the pains of life and brokenness; art helped him navigate his adverse experiences and chronic depression. In adulthood, responsibility took priority over art until he was diagnosed with ADHD, which went undiagnosed due to him not displaying the typical identifiers of the condition. For most of his life, he felt exposed, underserved, and questioned his existence as he struggled in plain sight.
