D. Lamar Preston began as a child sculpting using play doh. As he grew older, his path veered into graphic design, but he ultimately returned to sculpting, this time using metal. A chance meeting with sculptor Richard Hunt and opportunities to be in community with other artists led him to create work that can be seen in front of Hyde Park Career Academy High School.
