These tours will be led by artists included in the exhibition and have been paired together based on connections to each other and thei r work. The tours will be informal discussions about the artwork and this community of Detroit artists. \n\nMario Moore\, painter and co-curator of Skilled Labor: Black Realism in Detroit was raised by artist Sabrina Nels on in the Black arts community and learned from an early age from mentors like Richard Lewis\, who taught him to paint after school. \n\n   \n\n Sabrina Nelson lives and works in Detroit\, where she was born and raised. She attended the College of Creative Studies (MFA\, 1991). \n\nNelson wa s born in the wake of the ’67 Rebellion in Detroit. She is a painter inf luenced by Yoruba religion as well as Eastern and African philosophies. He r work is a combination of spirit\, motion\, and intimacy. Not limited to two dimensions\, the scope of her work also includes sculpture\, objects\, performance\, and installation.  \n\nNelson has been a professional art ist for more than thirty-five years and an educator for more than thirty y ears. She occupies positions at both the Detroit Institute of Arts as a st udio art teacher and at her alma mater the College of Creative Studies.
