Marva Huston

A resident of the Bronx, NY and has been painting for over fifteen years. Huston’s work is an attempt she believes, to blend the African American and American experience into a unified one.

In terms of acceptance for the black artists, Huston believes ‘the times have changed, but not that much’. In one instance, a patron of one of her exhibits asked her quite blatantly, ‘can you do white people?’ Huston believes art can help show African Americans positive reflections that will allow for an evolution of the stereotypical perceptions of African Americans.
