When There’s Laughter by DaNice D. Marshall, Gallery
A few words from DaNice, “My art is always intentional in the connectedness of people. I paint Black Portraiture art, as much to record ordinary activities of African-American life, as to show the viewer that we all can laugh and have moments of joy. There is a familiar thread, a human story, something to remind us, that we are more alike than we are different. My hope is that my art makes you smile, a little bit, at least on the inside.”
