Braylyn Stewart’s family moved to Louisville when he was a child, and he credits the street energy here for his distinct brand of art, a blend of graffiti and traditional painting.

Stewart studied traditional painting in DuPont Manual’s visual arts program and was introduced to calligraphy and lettering. His first encounter with graffiti was when he met New York artist Sen-One while painting a mural at the now-defunct Basement Skateshop on Clay Street.

Locally, Stewart has painted murals for numerous private residences and local businesses. These three studio pieces reflect the distinctive visual dynamic that characterizes Braylyn’s multiple public murals around Louisville.
