ABOUT HASHIM LAFOND

Hashim Lafond is a prolific contemporary artist, director, and cultural storyteller reshaping the way art connects with the world. Born and raised in Boston, his creative journey began early and was nurtured at the Boston Arts Academy—where his voice as an artist took root and where he met his future wife and lifelong muse.

Known for bold murals stretching from Boston to Los Angeles, Hashim’s work celebrates culture, identity, and legacy. His portraits—often painted publicly—have become landmarks in their own right, capturing the attention of global audiences and being featured on platforms such as ESPN, People Magazine, and national television. His unique style and perspective have quietly found their way into the collections of notable figures who connect with his vision.

In addition to his work as a visual artist, Hashim’s presence extends to television and media. He was a series regular on the Emmy-nominated reality show The Parent Test on ABC and Hulu, where his role as a father and creative sparked meaningful conversations about parenting and family dynamics. Earlier in his career, he also served as a host for Radio Disney and the Disney Cruise Line, connecting with global audiences through storytelling and entertainment.

As the founder of House of Lafond, a family-led creative brand, Hashim blends art, fatherhood, and storytelling in a way that feels both personal and universal. His work extends beyond the canvas—into film, television, and digital media—where his ability to move people through visuals continues to evolve.

Every piece by Lafond is more than just art—it’s a reflection of lived experience, cultural memory, and creative purpose. His journey is ongoing, and his work invites you to be part of it.
