Born in New Orleans,Louisiana, Dwayne's talent for art appeared at a very young age of 3. He began writing in Old English calligraphy because he thought it was better looking than regular print. As the years passed his interest grew to studying the great works of various Renaissance and comic book artists , with the idea that every painting must tell a story. A self taught artist , Dwayne's work exemplifies an understanding of the human condition which speaks of the emotional plateaus we face today.
