This is Kaighns Avenue Designs


Well I bet your wondering where I came up with the name Kaighns Avenue. Well I am very big on how a persons history helps determine who they are and its important to always remember where you come from. My family history starts in the FABULOUS state of New Jersey. Within the city limits of Camden, a city located 5 minutes across the bridge from Philadelphia, PA. My mother and father were both raised in Camden, New Jersey, which sadly is now ridden with crime and drugs. Camden is no longer the beautiful place it used to be, and is very dangerous for those who dont know any better. My grandmother and grandfather still live in Camden and are now the only people living on their block on Kaighns Avenue. Kaighns Avenue has changed over the decades, with floods, and block parties, riots, and fires, but through it all the Hawkins family has been its lasting resident. I still love my town which has shaped my family, I don't live on Kaighns Avenue but it is still apart of who I am. The pride in the city of Camden, and the place it once was still lives strong in my heart and in my family. So needless to say Kaighns Avenue is who I am and my art is how I express myself to the world, its only fitting that I use it as my title. ENJOY!
