BHN ARTISTS SPOTLIGHT
SONYA WALKER
In the past, my work explored the lives of African Americans in everyday living. Now I am compelled to use my gift as a vessel for sharing, influencing and changing lives. We were all brought here for a reason, and I believe that reason is to help others by being charitable with our time and our gifts. We all know that images help to influence our thinking, so what better way to change lives than with your art. Creating art for art sake is admirable, but creating art for people sake is far more of a responsibility that I plan to commit to. I have a moral obligation to do what is in my power to bring about change through the medium of art.-Sonya Walker. Savannah, Georgia
