About Joel Crooms
Joel Crooms was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, and has traveled around the country, but has called Southeast DC home since 2016. He studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York and Rutgers University, but he credits his continued artistic development to the world around him. His works are primarily abstract, giving him “unrestrained freedom,” acknowledging that artists such as Alma Thomas and Sam Gilliam paved the way for artists like him. His work has been exhibited at Princeton University, Rutgers University, City Hall in Newark, Columbia University School of Law, Atlantic Community College, Howard University, and the University of Southern California.
