Wilmington Artist Damian Saunders Dishes on His Statement Style

I’ve always been an artist. My mom said [when I was] young, she couldn’t dress me in white clothes because I would come back messy. I was an art major at Sanford School.

I’ll mix blue-label Ralph Lauren with Supreme [a limited-edition New York streetwear and skateboarding brand]. At Sanford, guys wore collared shirts or turtlenecks…but [hip-hop] and hanging out with kids who went to public schools had a big influence [on me].

Families come together at a park to enjoy an afternoon of music, food and community bonding. On Oct. 10, the nonprofit Chinese American Parent Association of Tredyffrin/Easttown School District (CAPA-TE) brought its first concert, “Voices of Autumn,” to the community.
