JENNE CLAIBORNE

Food was a major focus in our household, my family didn’t place much emphasis on health. I hated most veggies and fruits, and happily stuffed my face with pop tarts, store-bought cookies Kool-Aid, and Chik-fil-a. I discovered healthy eating in college and haven’t looked back since. Now my whole life revolves around food that makes me feel happy, energetic, and nourished.

XAVIER DANIELS

BIO  

Paintings are influenced by his experiences with brotherhood at both Morehouse and as a firefighter. In creating his art, he is actively thinking about the perception of black men and attempting to be a catalyst for a different view on the black male experience. According to Daniels, the conversations happening in popular culture about black males leave them invisible in discussions about themselves. The portraits of black men Daniels creates are large in an effort to symbolically assert black male presence into those conversations. His work has been shown around the world through Almine Rech and Richard Beavers Gallery. Xavier lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia.
