Summer 2018

Painting 60.9 x 48 cm December 2018

An artist that influenced me in making this piece was Stacey Byer. She is an artist from Grenada, whose work is largely inspired by her culture. I resonated with the themes of love and familiarity she worked with and I wanted to draw something familiar to me. Hence, I drew me portrayed with a friend, with inspiration taken from a moment in Summer that was filled with happiness and joy.

This piece received an Honorable mention from the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.
