Roosevelt Washington, Fine Artist

My name is Roosevelt Washington. I am from Oakland, California.

For the past 20 years, I have lived trying to capture the true emotions of life. I was never formally taught how to draw, but the experience I received from 4 years of homelessness gave me the clarity to express myself through art and capture the reality of the human condition. 

I enjoy working in black and white and color chalk pastels, oil paints, and other media.
