Mr. I AM ART himself, ARTavius Veasey, born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. Graduate of Full Sail University receiving his master’s degree in media design is always looking for ways to challenge his creativity and knowledge. Having a passion for the ARTS and inspiring others with his story; He tends to find creative avenues to illustrate, articulate and integrate his life’s journey filled with moments we can all enjoy for years to come.
Prematurely birthed at 24 weeks and diagnosed with kidney disease at the age of three, ARTavius came into this world with a disadvantage. Undergoing dialysis for 18 months at the age of 13, and now coming up on his 15-year anniversary post-transplant next summer is a testimony all in itself. On top of the huge milestone, he will be debuting his first memoir, “Becoming A Living Testimony: How kidney disease blessed my life” the same year. Never allowing the disability or stigma around the disease define him, he always strived to rise above adversity and lead by example. He’s partnered with The Mid-South Transplant Foundation to help spread the word about becoming organ donors and educate others about kidney disease while sharing his personal journey to encourage others who have or know someone with kidney disease.
Being such a beacon of light, his story and talent has opened doors that he wouldn’t have imagined would open at such a young age. His journey had led him to Donate Life’s Transplant Games of America, a bi-yearly Olympic-style games event created for transplanted recipients to compete and most importantly spread awareness about organ donation. In the 2018 games ARTavius achieved one of his ultimate dreams of not only participating in track and field activities but to become a gold medalist athlete. Amongst achieving his gold medal, he also received a bronze and silver medal as well in other track and field activities. He’s an award-winning and published graphic designer, he’s been professionally acting around the city of Memphis for the past seven years and starred in more than 18 stage productions and two documentaries. He’s been featured on the cover of Focus magazine twice, billboards and bus ads around the city. He’s also been featured on iheartradio, The Bev Johnson Show, WDIA AM radio station, Local 24 News and more. However, despite all his accomplishments and accolades that he’s accomplished thus far, being able to sit in support groups or bedside with dialysis patients and inspiring others along his journey in every way he can is his life’s mission and purpose.
