Beautiful Black Woman by Kristen Woollery
American artist, Kristen Woollery, paints beautiful portraits of Black women in bright, bold colors that give homage to her Afro-Trinidanian ancestry. Through her portraits, she celebrates the Black woman who is living in the modern world without compromising on elements of her culture. This is evident in her bold hairstyles, and even in her makeup.
Black female strength is something that we must continue to celebrate and represent in mainstream media - and the Black-American artist is doing a great job of contributing to this narrative.
We love many of her paintings - see some below and let us know what you think.
