Born in West Virginia, Parrish is a self-taught contemporary artist who draws on personal experiences, emotional connections, and the works of other creative artists to drive his unique expressions of life.

Parrish gives life’s underlying themes breath with acrylics, oils, and pastels. Everything has meaning. Each piece is personal. He carries with him images from living in the DMV, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and now LA; as well as his multiple cross-country excursions and trips to Europe and Haiti.

Although life serves as his main inspiration, Parrish also uses his lifelong love of music and relationship with God as motivation for his deep, often thought-provoking pieces. His distinct colorways pop to emphasize each work’s specific subject matter and message.

Parrish is currently in his 14th year working in the music industry as an Artist Manager and former Agent.
