Abstract Artist Ras Ammar Nsoroma was born Kevin Wayne Tate on June 20, 1967 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Nsoroma graduated from the Milwaukee High School of the Arts in 1985 after completing his first mural as a senior, and attended the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design. After studying at Chicago's School of the Art Institute, he returned to Wisconsin and began working as an artist, designing three-dimensional murals for the north and south wing walls of the Fond du Lac Avenue overpass in Milwaukee. In 2000, two of Nsoroma's murals were nominated for inclusion in the book, Walls of Heritage, Walls of Pride: African American Murals, a collection of 200 murals spanning three decades of African American mural art. He painted more than forty murals, including pieces in Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and his hometown of Milwaukee, including a piece celebrating Milwaukee's 1290 WMCS-AM Radio's 25th anniversary of African American community programming.
