“Art gave me a voice that penetrates the thickest walls any penitentiary can build to silence me.” – Juan C. Hernandez

“From the age of 16 every prison I’ve been in has had its chains on standby ready to shackle my body and pacify my mind. Art became my tool to break those chains and find rehabilitation in this oppressive system. And as a result of the administrations desire to stifle my thoughts and actions on a continuous basis I simply cannot and will not be bound by subject, medium or style when it comes to my artwork.

With the help of an incredible support system I am able to reach the masses so that you may see the daily struggle of what it takes to achieve incredible resolve within a concrete box. If you like my determination and want to show support I ask that you commission me to do a portrait (human or pet) which you will absolutely love. My portraits make great personal gifts and are a unique conversation starter in any event. My artwork is exceptional for the price point and all funds will go towards legal fees, college education (business major) and commissary (cosmetics, food and of course art supplies).
