Kara Walker was born in Stockton, CA 1969. She studied at the Atlanta College of Art, and then Rhode Island school of Design. Her works usually consisted of black silhouettes depicting black and white people engaged in a variety of shocking and explicit scenes. Her ideas as an artist most likely came from her time living in Stone Mountain, Georgia, where she experienced racism first hand. She began exploring sexuality as a subject of her works during college, part of her inspiration being pulp-fiction novels, many of which featured scenes of interracial love.
