Description

This piece represents the glory and beauty of North Nashville. I enjoy capturing personality by focusing on the uniqueness of my subject’s hair, eyes, and mouth. The hair is a very important expression of identity for most African Americans. I chose to focus on the hair of my charcoal and pastel drawing by paying special attention to her dreadlocks. As a black immigrant, I understand that we all bring varying identities to Nashville. My mixed media piece represents this diversity using a range of colors and patterns.

NOTE: The artwork will remain on display in the Soundwaves Gallery through the end of the 2024 Season. We will contact you at the conclusion of the season to make arrangements for pickup of your purchase. If you have any questions, contact us at info@abcnashville.org.
