Quinton’s work explores where art, design and community intertwine. Having a background in several mediums (sculpture, installation, illustration, etc), community design, and community engagement, he aspires for my work to go beyond gallery walls and have my work to be accessible to a variety of communities. Quinton believe the community issues his work illustrates must also be imbedded in the community to further conversation and create solutions to the problems.
Quinton has won multiple awards for his work Little by Little, a solutions-oriented community development project that addresses the lack of infrastructure in communities and how minor enhancements, like better street lighting, could better a community. As a Community Design Apprentice, through Creative Reaction Lab, Quinton had the opportunity to work collaboratively with other designers in the Kings highway neighborhood to examine how public transit access could improve quality of life. He, along with his cohort, created a community event that brought people from the neighborhood and beyond to have conversation about what public transit meant to them and how could it be improved.
