“Creativity is a means of using your mind and body to express what’s inside and in-between."
THE ART OF SHANTELL MARTIN
Shantell Martin is the definition of a multi-hyphenate. Her iconic black-and-white drawings have graced the walls, floors, and ceilings of the world’s most prominent museums. She’s even drawn live during a performance with Kendrick Lamar. The British visual artist is also a philosopher, cultural facilitator, teacher, choreographer, and songwriter. Martin encourages everyone to find their line and leave their mark on the world.
"Whether it’s song, poetry, or architecture, art is a reflection of a people.”
Hill believes that art carries deeper cultural weight — that seeing yourself reflected in painting, sculpture, or design builds self-respect and, as he puts it, "washes the dust off of life."
