Art Description

My art work is a good story to me.  The meaning behind it is how I put together the Detroit story.  I used Detroit landmarks to create a collage. I copied the collage onto watercolor paper and hand colored the paper.  It is colorful and represent the big spirit of Detroit.  

Art + Activism

Detroit has a lot of examples of Art & Activism.  There is a lot of passion for those who put an effort into both art and activism.  I like going downtown and looking at the colors and stories of the artwork.   I am excited about presenting my work because it reminds me of the style seen throughout Detroit.
