Politics and Prose is delighted to partner with DC Public Library, the DC Public Library Foundation, and Pepco for an inspirational program for teens with teen artist Tyler Gordon who will discuss his debut book We Can: Portraits of Power and his art process.
Tyler Gordon skyrocketed to fame when he painted a portrait of Kamala Harris and landed a Time cover of LeBron James. His debut picture book We Can: Portraits of Power features his graphic paintings of the American heroes who’ve inspired him —musicians, artists, writers, civil rights leaders, sports legends, change-makers, record-setters, and more—paired with short profiles of each. Born with deafness, battling bullies, and a stutter, Gordon embraced art as a way to communicate his big thoughts and feelings with the world. Just like the icons featured in his book, Gordon is an inspiration for all ages.
Tyler Gordon is a fourteen-year-old painter whose work has been featured in Time Magazine, Essence, Good Morning America, and ABC News. In 2020, he was awarded the Global Child Prodigy Award. He currently lives in San Jose, California with his family.
