James Baldwin is one of the most influential Americans of all time. Novelist, playwright, poet, essayist, Baldwin's words help to ignite the Civil Rights movement and fight for the rights of all persons, regardless of race, sexuality, or gender. His books explored the complexities of sexuality and he is best known for his 1965 debate against segregationalist, William Buckley in which Baldwin stated that “The American Dream is at the expense of the American Negro.” This line-art portrait echoes that message and pays homage to James Baldwin's activism. All flowers are symbolic to the author from the green Carnation(a symbol of queer identity from Oscar Wilde) to the Roses(the flower of New York, home of Baldwin's birthplace, Harlem).

James was an American novelist and social critic and author of Go Tell It on the Mountain, Notes of a Native Son and Giovanni's Room.

"Those who say it can't be done are usually interrupted by others doing it." - James A. Baldwin

Inspired by the famous essay by James Baldwin, one of my favorite writers.

“ I believe in a world where we can make and share art that will help us find our way back to one another.” ― Brené Brown, 2017 ••• As a practicing artist, I am less interested in crafting perfection than in providing something of substance to the viewer. I have worked as a commercial artist and designer long enough to know that this is no simple task, that my individual ideas and intentions only matter as much as they can be interpreted by the stranger with the main concern of, “What’s in it for me?” ••• My hope for these artworks is that they communicate the engaged contemplation and disciplined dedication that created t...
