Oil Mixed Media

48″x60″ in on canvas

This powerful mixed-media piece celebrates the beauty, resilience, and identity of Black womanhood through layered texture, symbolism, and cultural storytelling. At the center of the composition stands a poised female figure with her eyes closed, radiating strength, peace, and quiet confidence. Her posture feels reflective and regal, as if she is grounded in both history and self-awareness.

The words “I AM HER” dominate the background, transforming the artwork into both a declaration and affirmation. Surrounding the figure are collage-style references to vintage Ebony magazine imagery, connecting the piece to generations of Black excellence, fashion, culture, and representation. These layered elements create a sense of historical memory — honoring the women who came before while embracing the modern Black feminine experience.
