ABOUT ME. 

Darrell Spearman (he/him) is a multidisciplinary artist from Brooklyn, New York, currently practicing in New York City. Darrell’s writing practice is an unraveling of self, an exploration of the impacts of grief, conforming, and creative deprivation on one’s personality and life, as well as a way of capturing his own personal experience of returning to self to inspire and encourage other bodies and hearts to listen closer to themselves. He also uses his writing to give his imagination a chance to live before it becomes real—being a performer—like he has always done since he was a child, always imagining and making. 

Darrell also uses media to provide space for other artists to tell their own stories with his web series “A Little for The World,” where he tenderly expresses himself with other bipoc artists, as a way to shed, open their hearts like peonies in the sun, to breathe together, and to create freely. He shares lots of his personal creative writing on his writing page on Instagram, @written.withlove, and with people around the world, whom he meets through social media, workshops, art shows, and with other writers.
