Submitter Statement

“I like to say that it took me almost 40 years to realize that I could be an artist. As a child I haven’t been educated or exposed to art and for a long time I thought the appreciation of art was for very skilled and educated people, but unforeseen changes in my life let me understand that everybody is able and should express themself the way they need! Now, I have at heart to give the voice to people/communities away from the mainstream to express themself and tell their story.”
Christelle Bois is an Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker based in New York City. She has directed the film Americart 2019 and the TV docuseries The Story of Art in America.
