Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "…after learning more about Autherine and actually going through the process of creating the portrait, I learned so much more than I had anticipated, and it changed my outlook on my life and how I live it. I learned that under no circumstances should you take simple ideas like school for granted, because somewhere, somehow, there is someone who would give anything to be in your shoes."
