Pretty Pink and Prominent

Oil on cotton canvas.

30x40x1.25"

Draped in every shade of pink, and recognizing the raw essence of womanhood in her. This piece doesn't just show you universal experiences; it pulls you in to feel the power of unity and the sheer strength we find when we just own our shared humanity.

My focus? Her. The Black woman, undeniably bold, unapologetically present. Those pinks? They're not just colors; they're whispers of femininity, tender moments, and unbreakable resilience. Choosing pink wasn't an accident. It's deliberate, a shout-out to the incredible spectrum of who we are as women, tearing down those tired old ideas of beauty and what it means to be seen.

Her features are a deliberate blur because I want you to see yourself in her. Her face? It's a canvas of quiet emotions, reflecting that silent mask so many of us wear when we're living those prominent lives, holding back what we truly feel. My brushstrokes are alive, fluid, bringing that dynamic energy to life – that inherent strength that pulses through every woman.

And the composition? It's a beautiful, abstract dance of elements, weaving together a sense of connection. It's an invitation, really, to step in and truly honor the incredible, multifaceted wonder that is womanhood.
