"My mother was willing to support art as a summer program for me. She never supported it as a career ..." — Amy Sherald

My brother dying changed me. I didn't realize how strong I was until I lost my brother.

I paint paintings of people.

My approach to portraiture is conceptual.

Just because someone said painting is dead doesn't mean that it's a fact or the truth - painting is the soul food of art, in a way.
