TrustyScribe

A San Francisco native, TrustyScribe has called Los Angeles home since 1993. As a multidisciplinary artist, Trusty bridges his background in film, photography, writing and painting to create work inspired by his own personal experiences in love and depression – bringing much needed attention to the conversation on mental health. His often playful and poignant art can be found in mental health facilities, schools, businesses and private collections from Los Angeles to London, Houston to Paris, and beyond.

Trusty’s street art was born out of his own very personal journey with depression. Now, Trusty uses his art, filled with whit and heart, to start a conversation about mental health and love, a conversation that many are eager to have.

As a lifelong photographer with a fondness for the water, Trusty has sought to capture the tranquility under the surface. Creating ethereal images of peace has led to an entire body of work that has left viewers in awe and moved to tears.

Trusty has worked with LA schools and mental health centers like the Didi Hirsch Foundation, where he has paint murals and shared his personal story with students, faculty, and staff, which has opened the door for countless others to begin their journey of mental wellbeing.

On a global, artistic mission, Trusty was awarded a five-week artist residency in London and Paris, where he was tasked with installing art throughout an entire hotel. “This has been an amazing time for me, living as an artist, putting my work in some of the most incredible cities in the world.”

Trusty has been featured on NBC’s The Today Show for the series Mind Matters with Carson Daily, focusing on those making a difference in the world of mental health. That single segment helped spread the word further that lifting the stigma on mental health is a matter of talking about it in an effort to normalize the way we think and speak about this unseen epidemic.
