Inside the Brooklyn Home of Artist Mickalene Thomas

(harp music)

This house is great, I love livin in Brooklyn.

It has my art that I collect.

And, it has my daughter s things here.

(classical music)

She has some of her awesomeness paintings up here.

It s nice when we re both sitting together.

This area I love, because it s

a little sanctuary of many things, it s like libations.

I would light this up in siege.

(laughs)

So these are some of my favorite images.

Over the past year that I ve seen

and just think about, I actually,

when I was in high school, had my hair cut like that.

I feel like art on the wall should continuously inspire

you, like the Matisse.

I think that s why I like interior spaces, I like homes.

Because I think they re also reflections

and portraits of who the person is.
