Braxton Fuller is an American contemporary artist based out of Kansas City, Missouri. Starting off as a poetry writer, Braxton gradually evolved into creating large works in a variety of mediums. Each creation represents a significant period in his life, serving as a visual conduit through which he communicates his personal journey and experiences.

Fullers work explores the challenges and struggles of being a human being, while exploring the subconscious thoughts we all have. His artistic journey is a testament to the power of self-discovery and the infinite possibilities within the intersection of language and visual expression.
