“My personal artwork has always been inspired by the distinctive and spiritual nature of an African American experience. I hope to stir the viewer’s spirit and their curiosity with my work by capturing this human experience in moments of reflection, celebration, healing, and despair. The ideas emerge from observed encounters, which are then developed into more interpretive, sometimes mysterious visual imagery on paper. I would like to think the complexity of the work is not in the technique, but in the ideas behind them.” - ED WATKINS
