Mar, co-founder of AOA SUPPLY, is dedicated to using artistic expression to bring communities together and inspire others to use their own creativity. As a Roxbury native, he is most motivated by creating artwork in his neighborhood and was one of the lead artists in the “Black Lives Matter” mural in Nubian Square. Additionally, he was acknowledged by the City of Boston for being one of the curators and organizers for “Black Book Sessions” a series of weekly events for artists to collaborate and share their work. Mar’s diverse artistic style, from abstract to graffiti, incorporates intricate lines and blocking that makes his work unique.

Mar’s three-year BCA Studio Residency is supported by Wagner Foundation.
