Tarish Pipkins is a native of Pittsburgh Pa.  “I pretty much create with anything I can get my hands on.”  As you can see he works in many media, but he is known best for his live performance paintings and murals.

Tarish is also a poet and dynamic spoken word artist who wows audiences with meaningful lyrics delivered with a thunderous voice.  Originally a rapper and graffiti artist, Tarish gives credit to the Hip Hop culture for exposing him to the arts.  His graffiti matured into murals and his rhymes morphed into poetry in motion confronting political and social issues.
