Quote: I see myself as a motivator. If I paint a woman carrying a pot for an example, I make it in such a way, that when one looks at my African art paintings, I try to do it in such a way that the woman looks nice and is dressed nicely. People sometimes make Black African art such that we as African people, we look out of date, primitive, or dirty, which is an inaccurate whole perspective of Africa. If you see my paintings, you always see Africans dressed nicely. So I say in that way I am a motivator for self-esteem when I am depicting my people in my African art paintings.
