Oil Mixed Media

48″x60″ in on canvas

This powerful mixed-media piece celebrates the beauty, resilience, and identity of Black womanhood through layered texture, symbolism, and cultural storytelling. At the center of the composition stands a poised female figure with her eyes closed, radiating strength, peace, and quiet confidence. Her posture feels reflective and regal, as if she is grounded in both history and self-awareness.

The words “I AM HER” dominate the background, transforming the artwork into both a declaration and affirmation. Surrounding the figure are collage-style references to vintage Ebony magazine imagery, connecting the piece to generations of Black excellence, fashion, culture, and representation. These layered elements create a sense of historical memory — honoring the women who came before while embracing the modern Black feminine experience.

Description

Rice’s signature textured surface gives the work depth and emotion. The geometric dress pattern and oversized jewelry evoke African-inspired aesthetics and contemporary fashion simultaneously, blending heritage with elegance. Earth tones, metallic accents, and distressed textures give the painting a timeless, almost weathered feel, as though the story has been carried through generations.

The piece speaks to identity, empowerment, and self-definition. “I AM HER” becomes more than a title — it is a statement of ownership, pride, and collective reflection. It invites viewers to see strength in softness, beauty in history, and power in cultural legacy.
