"Historically, celebrated art has excluded people of colour, both in representation of subjects and artists. I am encouraged that this is changing and my children will grow up in a world that is inclusive for all races."
"Nobody chooses how they are born and we are all very much the same. The concept of race has become an endemic to the world and therefore we need to change our outlook of the world by questioning our beliefs and existence."
"Art can be the catalyst to pique your interest but I implore you to delve deeper and to do so for longer than a single month."
"I'm inspired by real experiences; I look outward to create something meaningful. I like to tell stories by real people and to create illustrations from real memories - I find I create better art this way."
