Acrylic paintings on canvas
My time at Artists for Humanity defined me as an artist in many ways. It was one of the first spaces that I could emphasize my identity and experiences as a young woman and a mixed person. It also showed me that I was capable of working as an artist, from the age of 14. My time there forever linked me to teen art programming; I’m grateful to have honed my craft, but also to have experienced how impactful community art spaces that emphasize young people are.
