Rian Watkins, American Artist, was born in Baltimore, MD. His artistic journey began over a decade ago, initially capturing the essence of life through lifestyle portraits and candid street-style imagery.

Today, his creative compass is unwaveringly set on the path of storytelling, guided by a profound wellspring of empathy and an unyielding respect for the human experience. His work is profoundly inspired by the indomitable resilience of Black and Brown individuals, and his unwavering commitment is to shed light on the stories of everyday people, championing their voices and ensuring that the narratives of the marginalized and unheard are not only heard but celebrated.
