According to featured artist Clintel Steed: "My painting is about the explosion of an image and the impact that it makes." In further describing his method and practice as a painter, Mr. Steed asserts; "I use images of war and disaster, politics and gossip. I paint about the black rage, its feeling of being swallowed up, the feeling that in order to have power you need to have money." Mr. Steed concludes; "Painting these ideas and icons, in a way, helps me meditate upon the emotions they conjure in a more contemplative way."

"Art can be the world's soul, one that connects across borders, cultures, ethnicities, religions and cultures...It can build community. It can bring hope...We have to start realistically, while recognizing that every little glimmer of hope and communication is important."
