By Jamea Richmond-Edwards (b. 1982, Detroit, MI), "Archetype of a 5 Star," 2018 (acrylic, spray paint, glitter, ink and cut paper collage on canvas, 60 × 48 inches), ©️ Jamea Richmond-Edwards. #blackart #blackartist #womanartist #womensart #collage

From Victoria L. Valentine, Culture Type, April 20, 2018: ‘AS A YOUNG GIRL, Jamea Richmond-Edwards got lost in the pages of Ebony magazine. She was particularly drawn to the runway images from the Ebony Fashion Fair show. Through the otherworldly photographs of stunning black models styled in wildly imaginative ensembles, she discovered haute couture and envisioned herself as a fashion designer. Years later, she chose visual art over fashion design, but never gave up on her desire to explore the artifice of dressing.

"Those images were very visually affirming for me. It presented black women in a space that had never seen before," Richmond-Edwards told me via email.’
