e k i L n e m o W “A ” l r i G o tt e h G e h Me: T Amaiya Bloomfield B.F.A. PHOTOGRAPHY “My whole series is about Black women stereotypes that have continuously tried to plague our community but also how GenZ is trying to change the narrative for them. As black women, we grow up not only trying to not be the ‘ghetto girl’ through our family’s eyes but people outside of the community as well. We are in the days now where the same cornrows, the same gold jewelry and revealing clothes can be artistically beautiful and shouldn’t have the word ‘ghetto’ associated with its meaning to us.”
“Dol y” Michael Riley B.F.A. ILLUSTRATION “I am a visual artist, and my medium of choice is ballpoint pen. I use the crosshatching technique on watercolor paper to create hyper-realistic portraits. The people I draw have blossomed through the mastery of their crafts, and Dolly Parton has blossomed many times over. The daisies in the portrait are carefully chosen to symbolize Dolly’s purity, joyful essence and the care she has for others. My goal was to capture the icon that she is through ballpoint pen.”
