I take pride in
This portrait of Claudia Jones done in 2020, during the height of covid lockdown before the vaccine. This period coincided with the Black Lives Matter movement which opened my eyes to a lot of things and gifted me with renewed inspiration. I started to research the most incredible black women activists, pioneers, feminists, and artists who had been mostly airbrushed from history and discovered their stories.. the process continues.
