D’Anté Whitlow

D’Anté Whitlow grew up in Detroit; he started taking art seriously when he was in third grade. In middle school, he discovered pop culture – a perfect fit for his art, which is influenced by TV shows and features heavy lines and superhero-style comics. D’Anté moved to Maryland when he was 14. He graduated from Gaithersburg High School, earned a certificate in fine arts from Montgomery College, and works at Creative Edge Signs and Graphics, where he designs logos and signs. He’s been a VisArts gallery assistant since 2014 and in 2016 he joined VisAbility Art Lab, where he creates imagery that depicts figures, animals, and logos. He brings paper and a pencil everywhere.
