Mr Wash is a self-taught artist with the unique ability to express human emotions in the form of paintings. Wrongfully convicted in 1997 for a non-violent drug offense, he learned and refined his craft while serving a life sentence reluctantly handed down by a judge due to mandatory minimums. After 21 years of imprisonment in federal prison, Mr Wash was granted clemency by President Obama after word of his most recent paintings depicting Mr. Wash sitting at the table with the Obama and Bureau Of Prisons administrations negotiating his release in the spirit and likeness of the Emancipation Proclamation. Mr. Washington was released from prison after 20 years 3 week’s later in 2016.
