Work in Progress: Ep. 2 - The Painter

With every brush stroke, Warren “Stylez” Harvey combats the anxiety and self doubt he’s dealt with since childhood. Through his artwork, he’s able to embrace the feelings that once held him back.

“I’m grateful for my fear,” he said. “It has brought me to understand who I am. I am light. I am consciousness. I’m a spiritual being. That’s who I truly am.”

Harvey wants his art to affect people the way it does him — with a sense of healing and understanding.

“To inspire someone to see the light within themselves, that’s beautiful,” he said.

Harvey’s work has been featured on the sit-com reboot “Bel-Air.”
