ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hey friend! You can call me Inniss. I’m a creator and artist, born and raised in Philadelphia, PA.

Honestly, the beginning of my creative journey started off rocky. For the longest time, I was convinced I wasn’t ever creative, but I noticed I always carried with me a deep sadness that I couldn’t name. I grew up in systems that prioritized achievement over expression. School was everything, but it never taught me how to feel, how to process, or how to bring something from my brain into the world. After a long journey, I realized I had been creating from a place of disconnect.

So I started learning how to feel.

Because when we don’t process our emotions, they shape our work without our consent. And I want to create from a place of choice, instead of unconsciously from the traumas we’ve inherited. My art is a practice of reclaiming that power. It’s about feeling deeply, honoring the harm we’ve endured, and transforming it into something intentional and honest.
