United Faces of America

United Faces of America, Other
United Faces of America
I've been trying to process everything that has transpired lately and also figure out what I can do as a creative to help initiate major change in this country. I'm not a protesting type, but I certainly want to do my part in my own way. So, I developed a design, UNITED FACES OF AMERICA, partly inspired by Crayola's new World of Skin Tones Crayons. I have applied this design to goods and apparel, with 20% of profits going to Color of Change.

Artist Statement:
2020 has really put everyone to the test. There has been so much to re-evaluate. So much to process. And in trying to process as a creative, I have found myself looking for ways to help create a shared connection. Knowing someone else is feeling similarly can provide much needed emotional relief, if even for a moment.

I am a graphic artist first and foremost, so I tend to think in terms of simple, clear and concise compositions. How can I convey emotion, feeling and thoughts in a single image? How can I present my thoughts in a way that others understand and that perhaps unites us?

My work attempts create a connection with others while reflecting on some of the difficult things we’ve all had to endure and witness this year.
