Today on A Portfolio we take a look at the works of Kyndacee Harris, who paints, makes films, prints, and who notes on her IG that "If you would like to receive e-mails about my upcoming shows, please send me money so I can buy a computer." This is the type of artist we like.
From her bio:
I was born and raised in a family of picture framers with parents who only sold Black art. This sparked an obsession with capturing my people–friends, family, and even myself–starting as young as nine years old.
Having grown up surrounded by art in my parents’ shops and from watching, perhaps, way too many movies, I understood that by framing a single moment a certain way, I could tell a complete story.
My love for economical storytelling led me to screenwriting and copywriting but overtime, I used fewer words and began to paint pictures. Image making and painting has created a portal where I can engage with my younger self, now as a woman who has the power to interpret and express herself more fully.
