SOEMS, a member of AOA SUPPLY, is a multidisciplinary artist from Boston, Massachusetts. He attended The Boston Arts Academy and has been a working artist for the past 17 years. He began his career by being involved in the spray-painting graffiti scene in the early 2000s and has been continually active in the mural landscape of the city of Boston. He has a rich history of creative output with a wide range of work, from graphic illustration, murals, brand strategy and development to stage and prop designs; but he is mostly known for his precise, unique, and swift lettering skills. He enjoys working with his hands and planning and strategizing in collaboration with others. SOEMS believes art is a collaborative experience which is why he is proud of being a member of the “AOA Crew;” SOEMS ethos is that art is the bridge that brings communities and cultures together.
