Biography

Since childhood, Darrell has had a deep passion, love and desire to create art. Growing up, his life revolved around school, art and faith. During elementary school Darrell won several awards in art shows, and contests. He even won his first bicycle in a local community coloring contest. Early on he knew his destiny was to become an artist.

Darrell's faith has served as the catalyst for developing his character, both in life and in art. As a Christian, he believes a calling or an invitation from God can be placed upon someone’s life to pursue different opportunities.
