his series began when I realized I had never learned about these iconic American artists while I was being educated in several of the most prestigious art schools in the country. After that revelation, I set out to rectify that disparity. I am not the only photographer to focus their camera on artists but I felt the need to educate myself in this way.
Why The Series
At first, it was difficult to find artists willing to let me into their spaces with my camera. After Romare Bearden and Gordon Parks agreed to sit for me, the problem dissolved. All of the artists were amazingly gracious and welcoming. I am just sorry that I missed many of our greats. The list continues growing. study up, y'all!
