I'm Greg Mills and as an Artist, Art Curator and Art Educator in the Harlem community since the '70's I envision the the cultural saying of the West Harlem moniker " Where Art Lives" as an ongoing story, a historical linen of the cultural and intellectual landscape of the Harlem Renaissance.

As a painter, I particularly admire the writings and a quote by the late author Toni Morrison (1931-2019):
"Art takes us and makes take a journey beyond price, beyond cost, into bearing witness to the world as it is and as it should be. Art invites us to know beauty and to solicit it, summon it, from even the most tragic of circumstances."

Today, I create art as a visual journey. It is a living memoir. I've sought to create in a collage-art perspective as an expanding connection to Romare Bearden and Deborah Roberts, yet without the utilization of photography in the artworks itself.
