“I was invited at by VIP Graffiti, a paint supply store in North London, to paint on their front wall. I created a portrait of American poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou. She has written beautiful poems and powerful works defending women and black culture. The artwork, based on a photograph my Michael Ochs, depicts Maya Angelou looking up, deep in her thoughts. She is resting her head on her hand, holding a pen.”
