Sure You Know Me

Quarter view of a Black woman, face half-obscured by her hair styled in a messy bob, standing among white magnolias in a blue expanse.

Watercolor, gouache, colored pencil on paper, 2025 (18 x 24 inches.)

How can one be known if one is barely keeping up with oneself? I tried to convey this adrift and unknowable feeling in this piece, the one you get when folks tell you about yourself but you’re aware you show everyone select facets of the whole of you. On a more artistic side, I wanted to experiment with neon outlines, a touch of botanical art, and colored pencil blending techniques.

Not gonna lie, this is one of my favorites, and it just kind of… happened.
