Jon “Tang Sauce” Young

A lifelong creative, Andre Rochester is a painter who uses his medium to make statements around experiences we don’t always have the words for. Intentional, thoughtful, and evocative, his works have been showcased nationally, creating necessary dialogue around common, yet complex and nuanced concepts. Whether it’s the sting of injustice or the invigoration of joy, Andre validates the full gamut of lived, Black experiences in his artwork. As a respected curator and champion of the arts, success for him includes creating opportunities and space for other ambitious creatives to express themselves freely.
