My painting is of John Lewis. He represents voting rights to me because he started fighting for civil rights a little older than me and didn’t stop until he passed away.

This is a portrait of the Honorable senator John Lewis 1940-2020.
I decided to just use a soft pencil to do the portrait of John Lewis. I tried to make it as real of a picture as I could. And the powerful words “Good Trouble”

This is a painting of John Lewis. My mom is an artist and she helped me pick the colors, and I wanted to show the Congressman in his true light and glory – such an inspiration to young voters.

This painting is of the Selma Bridge that is such an iconic landmark in the life of John Lewis. The painting with the sun setting and the quotes I used, to me depicts his life long struggle for voting rights.

This is a painting/collage of LaTosha Brown. I choose to depict over her head three images of her singing, getting people to vote and Black Votes Matter. I used the American flag to represent she wants voting rights for all Americans.
