We Transfer Presents: Mr. Wash
Compton-based Fulton Leroy Washington a.k.a. Mr. Wash is a self-taught artist with the unique ability to express human emotions in the form of paintings. Wrongfully convicted in 1997 for a non-violent drug offense, he learned and refined his craft while serving a life sentence reluctantly handed down by a judge due to mandatory minimums. After 21 years of imprisonment in federal prison, Mr. Wash was granted clemency by President Obama and released in 2016..jpg)
