​I am Artist first; after being a proud husband and
a father of three boys. Mr.Wilson (as his art students have called him for
28 years) -it's the name and now the brand.
​I am an advocate for the arts; promoting it with a chip on my shoulder!
I am relentless in the pursuit of my mission; whether in the classroom
(RM: 118 at John A. Ferguson Sr. High) or in the streets - I'm trying to
make art happen!
The Elevate Foundation is the embodiment of Mr. Wilson the artist and
Mr .Wilson the art teacher. Elevate is the now the vehicle I use to
inspire different students in different schools, throughout South Florida.
