This painting is a part of a series called The Important Women Collection.
This series is a tribute to women whose strength, vision, and artistry continue to shape our culture. Through soft pastels and luminous watercolors, I’ve reimagined figures like Angela Bassett, Maya Angelou, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg—women whose voices and legacies are woven into history. Alongside them are bold new icons, like Megan Thee Stallion, who are defining what it means to stand unapologetically in their power today. Each portrait is a celebration of her story—capturing both grace and grit, tenderness and fire.
