I remember seeing Colescott's work ( George Washington Carver Crossing The Delaware ) in highschool ,this painting would have a profound effect on my work from then on. After viewing European paintings and conditioned to favoring them, I knew then being a black artist meant that your work had to be on the cutting edge and was to be expected .
