Homeless artist finds hope on a Tallahassee sidewalk

A cotton candy-colored sunset over a tropical island. A crisp starry night falling over a mountain range. Stephon Davis can imagine himself transported to these places as he paints them onto a canvas. Back in reality, the 49-year-old is sitting on the hot sidewalk along Village Square Boulevard in Tallahassee, dripping in sweat as he tries to make a living. How Stephon Davis became a homeless artist Davis has been homeless for nearly two years. He uses his art not just as a form of income, but as an escape. When his mother died nearly three years ago, he was left with her bills, which he couldn't keep up with. This led to Davis being unable to pay his own rent and having his car repossessed, leaving him without transportation to work, he says. He lost his job as a construction worker restoring homes damaged by natural disasters. He wound up in Tallahassee while working with his cousins writing raps and poetry. Eventually, they all went their separate ways. After the series of unfortunate events and financial hardships, Davis ended up on the streets and has gone back to the thing he loved doing since he was a child —
