Damon Brown, Seattle Artist, Uses Art to Preserve History

Seattle-based multidisciplinary artist Damon Brown completed a mural for the Steelheads, a local baseball team last year. The mural depicts a classic game played in Seattle at a park next to Garfield High School, featuring Negro Leagues players and other African American baseball players. Brown's goal was to capture the rich history of baseball in Seattle, including the often-overlooked contributions of women and African American players.


Brown, who grew up in Seattle's Central District, didn't always have access to the art world. He didn't know many artists who were able to achieve success, but he was determined to pursue his passion. Through hard work and seizing opportunities, he was able to build a reputation for himself as a talented artist with a passion for storytelling.


The Steelheads mural is just one example of Brown's work. He has also created murals, paintings, and digital art for clients around the world. His art often focuses on themes of history, culture, and social justice.


Brown hopes to inspire other aspiring artists to pursue their dreams. He believes that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. He also wants to continue to use his art to tell stories and preserve history.


In addition to his work as an artist, Brown is also a mentor to young people in Seattle. He teaches art classes and workshops, and he is involved in several community organizations.


Brown's work is a testament to the power of art to educate, inspire, and bring people together. He is a talented artist with a bright future, and we are excited to see what he creates next.
