Andre Hollingsworth is a self-taught artist from Sierra Vista, Arizona. When he was a child, his mother quickly learned that he loved coloring books. He entertained himself for hours with the ample supply of coloring books she kept at home. As Andre grew older, he became interested in comic books and began experimenting with drawing some of his favorite superheroes in his sketchbook.
Andre is committed to ensuring that art is accessible to the community in a variety of ways. His most recent project, a series of coloring books, offers adults and children an artistic activity that is both creative and soothing. He also created something special
for Prince lovers.
Andre is highly motivated to produce work that will empower young people to imagine breaking barriers in sports, music, and other industries. Through his artwork, Andre hopes to inspire young people not only to tap into their artistic creativity, but also to appreciate the continuing influence in renowned Black artists on today’s musical landscape.
We are so lucky to have him featued in the
May-Issa Anniversary Box.
