We had the good fortune of connecting with Kendull Anderson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kendull, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I am from a small city called Lawton, Oklahoma. I was raised by my Father after my mother passed away when I was 6. My Father taught me respect for others and most importantly respect for myself. My upbringing inspired me to chase my dreams and believe that nothing is imppossible.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My art is colorful, bright, and thought provoking. My art is different from others because it comes from me and my unique perspective on my life and the world. My work is inspired by stories only I can tell from my life experience. I got to where I am today by trial and error, only in the last 2 years have I figured out what I want to say and how I want my work to be perceived . It hasn’t been easy but I’m glad to finally be where I am today. Through it all I’ve learned to keep walking and to always be curious of what the rest of the story is for my life. Through my work I want people to get a sense that they’re not alone in their trauma, experiences, and hopes and dreams.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I honestly haven’t explored a lot of the city, but I love going to the beach. I like to find a Resturant or bar in the area to grab a bite or a drink at. Maybe catch a concert or a comedy show.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Id like to dedicate this shoutout to the small community of Lawton, OK for believing in me and making me the person I am today.
