ABOUT
How’s it going? I’m Rakia (w| the long “I” sound), I'm a visual artist based in Greenville, NC. I earned a BFA in Graphic Design from ECU, but essentially embody the title of a painter and work heavily in acrylic, gouache, and digital painting from an iPad. My goal with my art is to create, be vulnerable and share it in as many spaces as possible because I believe with that kind of movement you can garnish more genuine connections and strengthen diverse communities with the movement through art. As a multifaceted visual artist my concepts are exploring shared reflections of being self aware and present in moments that we as people have experienced at some point. Daily I practice several forms of self-care, meditations to reflect, self-heal, connect and converse with other like-minded people and creatives. These practices show through my personal work when it comes to the concepts and the approach in creating new pieces. Visually my pieces are organically composed through intuitive decision making and creating new earthly or ethereal environments often featuring Black figures in these compositions.
