ABOUT THE ARTIST
While attending graduate school, Collins had the good fortune to study with master printmaker Robert Blackburn, Founder of the Printmakers Workshop located in New York City.
As a youth in the early 1960s, Collins recalls listening to a variety of Jazz, Soul, Blues and Gospel stars such as Ray Charles, Nina Simone and West Montgomery. Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby, Muhammad Ali and Red Foxx was just a few of the personality that became very popular during his youth. With this in mind, Collins decided to create the linoleum block series as an dedication to these talented icons who helped shape the America’s culture, and to reintroduce them to today’s youth.
