”I believe art has a way of saying what can’t be spoken with words, so I use my gift to spread hope to whoever my work is placed. I am most pleased when I see the younger generation gravitate towards creativity, and making it their own. I hope one day my children do the same, fall in love with art, and take it to a new platform.”

Malachi hopes to one day have murals all across the United States. Malachi likes to inspire and evoke hope through his art pieces.
