Typically, I have relied on family to help me financially; however, the pandemic caused a financial hardship for them. This prevented my family from having resources to help me to complete my SPROJ. Completing my SPROJ is an educational requirement so I am very grateful that the Fund for Visual Learning because it helped me to fill this financial gap, thus helping me to meet my graduation requirement. With funding from the Fund for Visual Learning, I was able to purchase paint supplies and materials that I needed to produce my SPROJ called, “Primary Colors: A Beacon of Light – Black Future is Now.” My SPROJ explored themes of race and portraiture paying homage to a network of some of the individuals that have influenced my artistic journey so far.
