My name is Vivica Satterwhite and I am a Photographer born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. My love for photography started when I was younger, my grandmother sparked the idea as she captured all my families moments in life. As I grew and learned more about photography, my eye and experiences began to expand. I started to capture the diverse culture of Cleveland and all around the world, engaging visual stories with simplicity, depth,
and vibrancy.

As a muralist and painter, I make vibrant and meaningful paintings using a wide range of tools and techniques to bring my artwork to life. I make art that is meant to pull in the viewer. I'm drawn to painting landscapes, people, geometric shapes, and
animals. It is important for me to tell a story in my work because I want to connect with people on a deeper level. As a self-taught artist I'm actively looking for ways to inspire the youth and bring the community closer together through my artistic expression. Art has always been a tool to challenge one’s way of thinking and inspire the next generation.

My art is intended to beautify a space while containing subliminal messages that aim to invoke deep thought within the viewer’s mind. I use a multitude of colors and textures behind every stroke for the purpose of leaving an everlasting impression. I use art as a portal to different realms in my imagination. Balancing my individuality with my Black identity is a part of the process of telling my own story. My body of work stretches all over Cleveland, and it is my desire to have my work all over the world. I am deeply inspired by many of the world-renowned artists before me and I plan to join their ranks. Although my name Is Isaiah, I sign most
of my work by my Instagram name Starbeing.
