ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Martin Luther Kings Assassination . I see so little much in the art world about African American history. I was around 12 years old when this tragic event happened. My mom said they killed our leader, and was very distraught. I actually wasn't sure , back then, who exactly who our leader was. The news of the major riots across the country was also disturbing.. But I remember the violence against the many civil rights protesters that proceeded the assassination also troubled me as well. I couldn't understand why the protesters weren't fighting back. With this picture my objective was to capture the emotions of a tragic incident, and the violence that erupted as a result of MLK assassination. Like many of my art work I wanted to attract the audience visual appeal , allowing them to focus on the ugly event. The mysterious figure ( the assassin) at the left represents evil.

I have been a painter most of my life . Although for many years my time invested in it was very limited. I started a family at a very early age , so my focus was on survival. I remember getting up 5:30am each morning before work just to dedicate a few hours to my art. I was eventually granted a few art scholarships for painting here at Houston's Glassell art school, based the the work I produced. This training added to my skills, although I still lacked the time to develop them. I retired a few years back, so now time really isn't a issue. With my extra time I feel like I am gaining confidence and skills required to aster the art. During this time I have also discovered the art of songwriting. I have written and produce over 70 songs on my own. I hope to continue my advancements in the arts, and add my individuality to the art world. Although much of my work seems to have a African American theme, That's part of my world, and I believe this world is underrepresented.
