The reluctant cop who sculpted away his sorrow

Available for over a year

Son of a civil rights leader in New Jersey, Kevin Sampson was pushed to become a policeman to help his community. He faced racism both from colleagues and the public alike, but ended up winning national accolades for his artistry in drawing wanted posters. Then when a series of tragedies struck his family, Kevin started compulsively making sculptures, using his art to heal himself, and is now celebrated by the art world.
