Hebron Chism is a Multimedia Alchemist Bridging Culture, Science, and Spirit

Barbados-based multimedia artist Hebron brings a visionary approach to material and meaning. With a background in research and development, his creative practice is rooted in experimentation—described by many as a kind of alchemy. Hebron transforms ideas into physical form through an inventive process of manipulation and combination across painting, sculpture, digital art, and printmaking.

His themes span mythology, science, spirituality, and time—linking cultural memory to the present and future. Mediums and materials are determined by the concept he seeks to express, resulting in work that is as intellectually rigorous as it is aesthetically bold.

Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, Hebron began his art journey through community advocacy, organizing pop-up galleries and founding the Afrocentric arts collective MSANI. He became a full-time artist in 2008 as co-founder of Gevers Street Studio in San Antonio, Texas, later serving as Vice President of San Antonio Visual Artists (SAVA). He went on to join Otis Street Arts Project in Washington, D.C., before relocating to Barbados in 2017, where he founded House of Hester Studios and became active in the Barbados Arts Council and Artists Alliance Barbados. He also opened Earth Clan Studios in Guyana.

Hebron’s work is held in private collections throughout North America, the Caribbean, and the UK. His multidisciplinary approach and global vision continue to expand the possibilities of contemporary art.
