This painting was started immediately after we all woke up to the news of Chadwick Boseman's passing. For me, it caused something to bubble up inside me. An anguish, at the time, I couldn't name.

One thing I recall, both then and now, was how excited I was when I realized that this actor that played James Brown so well was going to play Black Panther. And HOW he and that ensemble cast exceeded my inner child's wildest expectations.

It's not that we lost a great entertainer, or a talented actor that could occupy multiple historic and fantasy rolls. Chadwick’s body of work did sit apart as a pinnacle in film but the way he moved in the world and what by extension he demanded from himself and from it - from ALL of us - gave me hope.

My painting Chadwick was an attempt to process all of those feelings and to remind us how lucky we were to witness his bright light and to inspire us to move with intention, integrity and purpose like he did.

Chadwick Forever.
