OCAF Artist of the Week-Danny Henriquez

OCAF Art Center 34 School Street, Watkinsville, GA, United States

Danny Henriquez is a Dominican-American artist born and raised in New York City. The youngest in a family of four, he became interested in art while riding the public transit system. The bright colors of the Krylon and Rustoleum painted walls had Danny in a constant hunt to decipher the hidden meaning and eventually inspired him to try graffiti writing himself.
