Beyond the Canvas
When I'm not creating art or writing, you might find me in the studio as Rex Wes, exploring how music and visual art intersect to tell more complete stories. This multi-disciplinary approach reflects my belief that creativity shouldn't be confined to single mediums.
My journey from Wall Street to gallery walls represents more than a career change—it's proof that business acumen and artistic vision can amplify each other rather than compete.
