Watercolorist Darius Steward often feels like he's living in different worlds.  One is grounded by his deep connection to the place where he grew up – in the city of East Cleveland with a loving mom in humble surroundings.  The other is the place he's at today, a world of formality, higher education, political correctness and social norms. Through the universal language of art, he connects these experiences in hopes of sparking a conversation about race, values and culture.
