Latrell Hickem
Media: Drawing, Film, photography, audio and design
Latrell (with the creative alias “RELLIX”) is an art director/storyteller whose work moves between drawing, film, photography, audio, and design. Rooted in a mindset of abundance, Latrell treats creativity as something that grows through sharing rather than guarding, always seeking out different perspectives, disciplines, and cultures to stretch how he sees and what he makes. Latrell challenges the idea of specializing in one gift as a self-proclaimed “creative alchemist” who blends multiple forms of media to tell multiple stories. He treats every project as a living journal documenting life and sentiments, each one designed not only to be seen but also to teach, guide, or converse. Latrell believes that everyone is a lifelong learner, hoping to create space and open doors that bring together people who think, look, and work differently for each other.
