This painting was inspired by Michael Brown and the Hands Up, Don't Shoot movement. Growing up in the Midwest, the phrase "I don't see color" was one I had heard quite a few times. During my time living in St. Louis and participating in the protests after Michael Brown's death, I was inspired to challenge this notion. Would a white man have had the same experience? Colorblind? seeks to ask that question and challenge our preconceived notions about justice in the United States. This painting was a catalyst for me. While I love painting in color, painting in black and white challenged me to focus on the emotion and the shapes to tell the story instead of the color. This series is still evolving but each of these black and white paintings tells a story of pain, of change, and of the human experience. It highlights some of the most earth shattering, yet growth filled moments we may experience throughout our life. I hope is sheds light on some of the issues we are facing and the ways we can be better.

Erica Prasad is an Indian-American painter whose work depicts the beauty of the ordinary and the way a space, person or landscape makes her feel. Primarily working with oil on canvas, her pieces are created with an expressive style that leans toward realism while exploring the magic of color that can only be achieved through oil paint. From the Artist: I paint snapshots of tender, ordinary life. My work is a study of intimate moments of human connection that ground us and help us realize our fundamental relation to one another. Beginning with memories from my own life, I choose a frame and a color palette based on the way the experience made me feel. I use detailed textures such as fabric or wrinkles to create pieces that feel deeply personal yet universal. Combined with vibrant colors and fluid brush strokes, I aim to provide a sense of comfort and familiarity in the images portrayed. Ultimately, I hope the viewer is able to recognize a piece of their own story and move forward to see a world of hope and compassion we can create together.
