A Artist Profle
WAK painting Sax Appeal.
I am an artist on a mission, but this is no solo trip: I
want to take you on the journey, too. My destination is a
place where more African-Americans will appreciate, own
and even create fne art that honors their rich heritage
and hope-flled destiny. So far, tens of thousands of
people have willingly followed me to that vista—including
talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, and actor/comedian
Bernie Mac. From celebrity homes to small businesses,
corporate ofces and women’s spas, my original and
lithographic artwork hangs from coast to coast.
I could do the wine-and-cheese events, but is that my
calling? I believe that my calling is more to the masses,
to introduce them to art in a quality, creative, positive
way. If they evolve into people who love art, and then
start to collect art, I want it to be because something Sax Appeal near completion.
pure in my work caught their attention. If that happens
—if they’ve fallen for the pure message in my work—
then my mission has been accomplished.
