“Nikki”, 2025 – A Tribute to the Voice of Grace and Revolution
Mixed Media on Canvas | Acrylic, Glass Beads, Paint Marker, Textural Molding

Radiating warmth, wisdom, and unapologetic joy, “Nikki” is a heartfelt homage to the literary legend and cultural icon Nikki Giovanni. This vibrant mixed-media portrait captures the electric energy of a woman who spoke truth to power and lit the path for generations through her words. With a smile that embodies both resilience and radiance, the piece invites viewers into a space of celebration, reverence, and emotional clarity.

Notice the ladybug resting on her lapel? A subtle but intentional symbol of protection, transformation, and the grace of small, sacred moments. Her clasped hands echo gratitude, prayer, and poise — a nod to her spiritual and cultural grounding.

This is not just a portrait — it is an invocation.
A call to remember.
A call to rise.
