This week we caught up with multidisciplinary artist Kimisha Turner, our season one episode eight featured artist. Kimisha has since moved to the east coast with her family and has spent the last year settling into east coast life with her sister and son Malcolm. Kimisha has been making incredibly impactful art in Seattle for years, ever since an incredibly pivotal moment in her life. She was faced with choosing between the armed forces and art school and that choice led her to Cornish where she studied and graduated.

I was first introduced to the art of Mr. Pen Cayetano in preparation for our trip to Belize in November of last year. I wasn't familiar with much of the country prior to that, and sad to say had no interest in visiting to speak of. I can't even begin to describe how differently I feel about that country since that visit!

Our week two featured artist is none other than barry johnson. barry has been cranking out some of the dopest portrait pieces this side of the Mississippi, bringing humanity back to Black faces, bodies and stories.

Moses Sun has been a fixture in my life since before I knew it. He and I are like brother and sister now and it feels like that has always been the case. I met Moses a while back through my partner when he was looking for models for a photo project he was working on.
