Laced in Gold

Medium: Acrylic, Gold Leaf on Canvas

Dimensions: 36 x 48 inches

Artist Statement:

Laced in Gold is a portrait of quiet strength, self-awareness, and intentional beauty. Every detail — from the gold-wrapped bun to the gilded earrings and neckline — was placed with purpose. She is not performing for attention; she is rooted in her own presence.

The gold leaf isn’t decoration — it’s declaration. A symbol of care, pride, and power woven into her image like truth passed down. Her gaze says she knows exactly who she is — and the gold only amplifies it.

This piece honors the ritual of adornment, the legacy of Black femininity, and the unapologetic act of showing up fully seen.
