In Browne's own words -- "My work is a series of allegories that simultaneously reveal its overt messages and hidden meanings that challenge notions about the collective journeys of all people but those of the diaspora in particular. I paint these collective and often historical allegories, both affirmed and disputed, giving them a framework to challenge the struggles of identity, power and self actualization."

Hamilton Glass's career as an artist stems from his architecture and design background. Despite working in the architecture field for seven years, his passion for public art pushed him to start a career as an artist. Public art has always been a big influence and inspiration to Hamilton because of its power to influence and inspire the surrounding community. With every opportunity Hamilton is given to create, he tries to convey a message that connects his art to the community. Using his background in architecture, he creates images that reference architectural drafting practices, which are represented in the sharp lines, scale, and balance of the piece. The bright colors and unpredictable lines and shapes are used to convey energy and movement in each piece.
