The racial conversation in the States is so multifaceted and multilayered. Obviously it's not always a positive conversation, but it's just so much more detailed than it was when I was growing up in South Africa.

I find that I have improved in my craft and I have improved considerably in my ability to critique other people's artwork. I forgot to mention that my course of study at the Art Institute is BSC in Media Arts and Animation.

While painting I noticed a piece of madras cloth on the floor. As usual, my mind started working overtime and a pair of scissors and a small amount of glue later...I created THE COMEDIAN. Everybody loved the uniqueness of the painting. It was indeed a hit.

A true artist is practically married to his or her art form so I just couldn't turn my back on it.

I developed this guiding statement to stress on the fact that every good thing takes time to develop.

I've been making music for as long as I can remember. I would, as a kid, just sing little ideas or be making something.

I believe that people have to be sensitized more about the many jobs an individual can branch out to after studying an art form.
