Artist-in-Residence Exhibition – Shayn Green

Shayn Green presents a collection of portraits that accentuate features that are prominent in the black community. Inspired by her Geechee culture, family, and life experiences, the North Charleston native utilizes bright colors, textures, plants, and big noses in her paintings to highlight the beauty in blackness. Through exaggerated and vibrant portraiture, Shayn emphasizes the power in standing out, celebrating your own unique features, and being proud of your culture. The artist aims for these pieces to resonate with the viewer and hopes they can see a little of themselves through her work.
