Emergence: The Process of Appearing
This painting marks a pivotal moment in my journey—when I truly began to embrace my identity as an artist. The whisper of imposter syndrome was ever-present, but with every stroke, as she emerged on the canvas, so did I.

I sought to capture a woman in her purest, most unfiltered form—radiating power, confidence, and unshakable presence. Her chin is lifted, her head high, and her afro—bold and unapologetic—carries the spectrum of rainbow hues, each stroke created by the touch of my fingers, a tactile connection to her essence.

She is both human and spirit, an embodiment of our shared truth: rooted in the earth, yet forever reaching toward the sky.
