Whitney Tates

About the artist:

Whitney was born in 1990 in Shreveport, Louisiana. A lover of both art and music, Whitney has been fascinated by the juxtaposition of the two for as long as they can remember. Their goal as an artist has always been to help individuals understand and navigate through life while stimulating discussions on mental health matters.

A graduate of Centenary College of Louisiana with a bachelor’s degree in Art, their work has been showcased in Shreveport-Bossier City, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Dallas, Texas. Whitney has also created and worked on several murals, most notably 240,000 Miles at Brake & Clutch in Dallas’s Deep Ellum district and Galilee's Stewart Belle Stadium in Shreveport, LA.

They also collaborated to create Black Lives Matter and Vanessa Guillén Memorial Walls in 2020. They currently reside in their hometown of Shreveport as a full-time artist.
