The modern beauty I paint in my black women art shows Black women as main characters in our own stories.
Walking through galleries today, seeing works by Mickalene Thomas and Amy Sherald, I remember when these spaces held no reflections of us. Now we don’t just hang on the walls—we’re reshaping what the walls mean.
Living Through a Renaissance
We’re experiencing a Black women’s art renaissance right now. My Black Women Empowerment Art is part of this incredible moment.
Major institutions now compete for works by Black women artists. Museums that once rejected Elizabeth Catlett now pay millions for contemporary Black feminine art. But what’s really changed is that we’re not waiting for institutional approval anymore. We’re creating our own platforms and definitions of success.
Rewriting Beauty Standards
When Betye Saar and Faith Ringgold started creating in the 1960s, they showed us that quilts could be high art, that everyday objects could become sculpture. They proved beauty exists outside traditional frameworks.
My Black art painting takes this further. The women in my portraits aren’t beautiful “for Black women”—they’re beautiful, period. The stars surrounding them don’t justify their beauty; they celebrate it.
Digital Democracy
Digital art changes everything about who gets to see and define beauty. My Black culture art can exist simultaneously everywhere. A girl in rural Alabama can see herself reflected without traveling to major museums.
This accessibility matters deeply. When beauty stays locked in exclusive galleries, it serves exclusivity. But when it spreads digitally, it becomes democratic. That’s why I chose digital over traditional media.
Grounded in Reality
Artists like LaToya Ruby Frazier photograph Black women in everyday environments—hair salons, kitchens, porches. No exotic backdrops needed. The beauty exists in the authentic.
My pro Black art grounds celestial beauty in reality too. Yes, stars surround these women. But they could be your neighbor, your teacher, anyone you pass on the street. Extraordinary beauty exists in ordinary places.
The New Economy of Beauty
Today, Black artwork featuring Black women commands top prices at auctions. Amy Sherald’s portrait of Michelle Obama redefined what institutional portraiture could be. We’ve moved from the margins to setting the standards.
My Royalty Series documents this shift. Each portrait assumes belonging rather than arguing for it. These aren’t alternative beauty standards—they’re becoming the new defaults.
Commission a portrait that places you at the center of this beauty revolution. You deserve to be documented in this historic moment. Starting at $2,000.
