[1/3] A great black painter is simply a great painter, regardless of color. We believe that’s #WorthTelling. “I realized that I was a decent artist once I got into grade school. I think that when you get that sort of pat on the back or that praise from your classmates, you become known for that thing. You have those kids that are known for being smelly, those kids that are known for being really smart. I was known for being pretty good at art. And I appreciate that I can say whatever I want to say from the most poetic to the most prolific and it still can find an audience.” – Hebru Brantley
