I asked various Black women how they would describe their hair and how it makes them feel. I started working on this painting back in June of 2015. Lack of inspiration and the passing of my mother took me away from painting for a few months. August of 2017, I finally felt that spark to get back into what I love. And I finally finished this piece. With this painting, I hope it lets women/femmes know that no matter how their hair looks, they're beautiful. I hope it encourages women who are natural to be proud of their hair... kinky, coily, or wavy.

Originally an acrylic painting on canvas paper.
