-These are all faces of immigrants.

Real individual stories.

-From people that we admire, to people that we forgot are immigrants.

-They could be next door neighbor school teacher, famous scientist.

Just people contributing to this, this country.

- Different groups of people are being attacked.

Artists from all walks of life really wanted to work together on something to show the love that the people in this country have for each other.

-Not to forget what this country is really built on.

-I did four separate portraits.

Korean immigrants who came to America and became important artists in general.

I'm a Korean, not an immigrant artist, but my parents are immigrants.

So I feel like I'm a part the lineage and I'm here as a result of them.

-The portrait I created was of my mother.

She was educated as an engineer in Siberia.

Went on to become a math teacher in the Soviet Union.

When she came to the U.S., because she didn't really speak English, and because her education did not translate, she went on to work as a seamstress in a factory.

You know, for her family and for her children.

And now she works in health industry, and I just, you know, admire her grit and perseverance.

-Without immigrants, I wouldn't be here.

My parents, they came from Vietnam.

This opportunity to be in San Francisco as a Asian gay man, married, pursuing art, just amazing, and could only happen in a place like America.

-I painted a portrait of my father.

My father work was a university professor, researching ways to get more food to more people, and sharing this knowledge all over the world.

My father grew up Muslim and if he was still here, he would be heartbroken, to have our government ban people based on where they are coming from.

-To me, it's not that far away from, you know, Jim Crow.

It's not that far away from what happened, what was going on during Reconstruction.

It's not that far away from what was going on from the Civil Rights Movement.

So Marcus Garvey, his portrait for me, was really important.

He was originally from Jamaica, big proponent of the Pan-African Movement.

-I did a portrait of my son.

He came from China and he was eight [years of age.]

He is a teacher.

I'm from a family of four generations teachers.

We came here because America provides opportunity and possibility.

And after all these years, I realize we cannot take anything for granted.

-The kind of divisiveness, scapegoating, that's happening, is just not reflective of what I have always thought America to be.

-But as artists I think we can take our creative power, and reveal our strength that comes from a place of love.
