Sean Qualls
, b. 1969
Sean Qualls grew up in central New Jersey in the mid-1970s with an interest in art but his family did not have money for supplies, so he made do with discarded paper. After high school, he moved to Brooklyn for a diploma in art at the Pratt Institute but soon dropped out of school to work full time at the Brooklyn Museum. He however continued training himself in the artwork. Most of his paintings and illustrations reveal real life situations. In addition to Emmanuel’s Dream, he is also the illustrator of Spike Lee’s Giant Steps to Change the World. He has also illustrated for magazines and newspapers and his work has been exhibited in galleries in and out of New York. He lives in Brooklyn.
