J.M. Culver – Figurative Artist

Writing/Essay/Journal
J.M. Culver’s figurative artwork is influenced by growing up with a grandfather who had schizophrenia. She states that he wanted to be perceived as a “real human being” and not as a “symbol of anxiety.” Write about ways in which our society marginalizes others. How might we move toward becoming a more compassionate and inclusive society? Also, how would you describe the physicality of her work?
