is also something Gray does as the opportunity arises. He has received really positive feedback from students and it has allowed him to sharpen his understanding of his craft. As part of that, Gray recently started a figure drawing class which he attends with other artists every Thursday night. Together, Gray and Frances Buckmaster, an artist from Puyallup, hire a live model to come in for them and about 20 other artists to paint for mostly fun, but also to practice their skills. Gray’s

the struggle people of color faced to get ahead in a system stacked against them ― a struggle that still rings true today.
