About the Artist

Born into a world of color and culture, Amari’s journey is a testament to the power of passion, individuality, and a deep commitment to the preservation of one’s identity. Drawing inspiration from her rich Caribbean heritage, she breathes life into the profound contemplations of her existence through the use of oil paint.

 Through both her personal identity and her art, she challenges societal norms and celebrates the beauty and strength of women through themes of female existentialism, religion, and culture. The symbolism, spiritual significance, and emotional resonance behind each piece, provide a deeper understanding of her artistic intentions and inner-most thoughts.

 Amid the pressure of capitalist culture, she finds solace in her canvas, where she weaves together threads of everyday life and divinity. Her work carries whispers of prayers and meditations in portraits of her journey to find herself amidst the clamor of societal expectations. As she finds herself amidst the hustle of the workforce, the pursuit of money and social ascent clash with her spiritual yearnings. Her work becomes an instrument of defiance—a declaration that the canvas of her soul was not for sale. Her creations unfurl as visual essays on the dichotomy of her reality, speaking eloquently of the human cost in the relentless race for success.
