Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "In my creative interpretation, I sought to illustrate the movement and life behind Professor Howe's paintings that showcased his culture identity. Additionally, I wanted to incorporate elements such as horses, dances and drums that depicted Howe's Yantonai heritage that he so honored."
