The 29-year-old artist who is artistically known as Jimmy Curtis IV, creates images that are captivating. He discovered  his talent at a tender age.

The young and gifted artist  describes his personality as an artistic enigma , even to himself , however,  he expresses himself through art.

According Jimmy Curtis IV , life inspires him , both the good times and bad times. He does not enjoy bad times , but somehow they find a way to inspire him. He finds a lot of inspiration from God as well.

"The more I learn and grow in knowing him , the more I feel my creative intellect expand.I also earn from my talent", he said."
