Shabazz is a self-taught artist born in Detroit, Flatlanders said in a press release. His work has been exhibited at the Toledo Museum of Art as well as the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. He has received numerous awards and his work is widely collected.

“My primary intention is to capture the viewer’s eye. To spark a moment of serenity. To capture the viewer’s imagination,” Shabazz said in the press release. “My intention is to ensure my clients receive quality art that will last a lifetime. I put many hours and effort into each painting, which is made up of many layers of media and textures. Art is meant to last a lifetime so it can be passed down through generations. The sight and enjoyment of my paintings will always spark a conversation with the viewer’s eye.”
