“I was a Homeless drug addict for ten years, I picked out of garbage cans to eat and now I’m here.”
Sage's debut into the Art World was a group show in 2013 called Nebula. It was held in an Airplane Hangar in Santa Monica, CA, and was attended by some 500 people. In early 2014, Sage was named in, NBC's The Grio as One of the 40 Artists to Watch and Sage has not disappointed.
Born in Wyandanch Long Island, Sage spent his formative years living in a commune. After moving back to New York with his Mother and Step-Father, Sage took a great interest in the Arts. Hempstead, the town he grew up in did not lend itself to his artistic interest, so Sage at a very young age would find himself sneaking into "The City".
In High School, Sage had teachers and friends that would challenge and inspire him. His only Artistic training would come from his High School Arts teacher, Linda Shear. He befriended a Teacher Kim O'Quinn who would show him parts of the City he had not yet discovered.
Sage attended the renowned F.I.T after graduating High School where he studied Fashion Design. Soon after, Sage was introduced to drugs.
In the early '90s, Sage was sent to a rehab in DC to get clean, he left the facility and shortly after relapsed. A friend, Walter Neal, seeing talent in the young Sage purchased art supplies for him in hopes that he may find a way to express himself through art. Sage took to painting like wildfire, producing over 400 paintings in both Acrylic and Watercolor. Though the battle with addiction grew, Sage move to Los Angeles CA, where he currently resides, he had stopped painting for some 20 years until the tail end of his final relapse.
Sage's photos have been published in various magazines and websites, in 2015 he premiered his Series, Rocks and Hard Places. He also released his debut cd, Naked Under My Clothes, a collection of Sage's poetry put to music. Sage has also gotten critical attention for the Music Videos he has shot for Naked Under My Clothes.
