Alfred Brooks

I am a native St. Louisan. Like most of my siblings, I took to art at an early age. Unlike my brothers who later decided to pursue music, I continued to pursue visual art along with math and science. I receive my associate's degree from St. Louis, Community College at Forest Park in electronics. I also attended Washington University and SIUE minoring in art.

I have a great interest in my history and culture. This has motivated most of my work. It is important that the history and culture of people of African decent be preserved. I try to convey the perspectives of real life African Americans and the importance of this knowledge.
