Wicasta Lovelace is a Saint Petersburg, Florida-based artist, writer, and musician. After navigating undiagnosed AuDHD and bipolar 2 disorder for over sixty years, a profound mental health crisis in 2019 led to diagnoses and reframed his approach to his life and work.
Today, his creative practice is centered on a single, practical goal: finishing a lifetime of incomplete projects. Free from the pressure of building a traditional career later in life, Wicasta views his current output as a necessary, unfiltered summation of his ideas. His work is an act of persistence, driven by the simple dictate to keep creating until he can't.
Originally from Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Wicasta relocated to Florida in 2007. He is an alumnus of Saint Petersburg College, holding associate degrees in both audio engineering and computer programming. He lives with his wife, Victoria, and their cat, Sabella.
“A fake image based upon a real image, a blend of real and imagined, but that’s close enough to me that I'm comfortable using it. Besides, how do you know I don’t have a mech suit and spend my weekends hunting my enemies? Yeah, it’s a fake image based upon a real image. But isn’t that what we all are? The fevered imaginings of diseased minds? None of us are actually how we think of ourselves, though we’re enough bits and pieces of it to pass for bona fide.”

(btw... it turns out it’s much harder writing copy about yourself than you’d think)
