As a 2016 Post-Graduate resident in Studio 12, Danielle Smith focused her work on her personal experiences as an African-American woman. Her figurative paintings tell stories surrounding pivotal life moments leading to identity fragmentation from childhood to adulthood. Her current focus on young black girls examines their pressures to absorb or reject Eurocentric aesthetic ideals as they form and reconstruct their adult identities. During her three-month residency, she experimented with watercolor and oil to investigate how these two opposing media interact. Come hear her speak about how Alexandria inspired her work, her process, and what she's learned over the course of her time at the Torpedo Factory.
This exhibit challenges artists to share their personal voice and create artwork that provokes a reaction.
