Bio
"My name is Bonifacio, but most people know me by ‘B’ or my middle name Paul, I was born and raised in Tacoma, WA. My mother introduced me to drawing when I was a child, I picked it back up when I came to prison. Upon arriving to Stafford Creek I met some of the art community, I started off with black and white portraits then I was introduced to a variety of mediums, they taught me several techniques and art became one of my escapes.
I love art, I want people to be captivated by my pieces the same way I get captivated by others art. Most importantly, I wish to support my wife and daughter with the art I love creating, maybe one day also teach my daughter how to draw/paint."
