I'm Dominick Lamar Williams aka “Dahm W”

I’m Black ; African American man

; born in July 1996,

Raised in Long Beach, California.

I hold an AA in Studio Arts from Cypress Community College,

focusing on Printmaking, and a Bachelor’s in Studio Arts

from Cal State University Long Beach ;

where I focused on Printmaking, Ceramics and painting.

I am currently based in Los Angeles;

where my practice is developing through the use of collage,

creating with experimental media.

Raised in Long Beach and Los Angeles,

Im deeply influenced by the cities that shaped me physically

mentally, and spiritually.

My experiences and observations fuel my work,

which blends abstract realism with contemporary expression.

Through mark-making, composition, and visual techniques,

My journey exists in the tension

between societal expectations

and the need to create authentically.

Art is not just something I do

—it is the essence of who I am.
