Illustrator Rashad M Davis

"Our differences are not only beautiful but necessary, and empathy is the theme weaving its way through all of my work. I seek to inspire people to appreciate and love diverse representation, whether of being or of thought. The arts are a means of giving this world meaning. They are a way of engaging with our surroundings, acting as either a mirror to reflect one's beauty or a window into a new world. Through my work I hope that people can do either of the two, learning to love themselves or to love someone else. I am also the illustrator/author of the children's picture book series entitled "Carefree, Like Me!" as well, a book series dedicated to dealing with the same aforementioned ideals. " - Rashad M Davis
