"The Black woman's nude body is, possibly, the most controversial corpus in all of art. It is the site of every repressed and unrepressed human emotion and outrage our psyches contain. That you paint them so lushly gives you direct entre into telling amazing stories with your brush."

- Harry Allen

" Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art."

-Pablo Picasso
