Artists We Love: Sasha-Loriene

Here at The Colored Girl, we are all about the creative! Especially the magical world of art. Every type from performance, visual, musical - you name it, we most likely obsess over it. So its only fitting that we feature Artists We Love to highlight some amazing artists in our growing (global) community.

Meet Sasha-Loriene, a Maryland based contemporary artist who captures her thoughts, feelings, and interpretation of the world in every piece. The goal of her art practice is to tell a story and create a personal experience that encourages viewer introspection. Sasha-Loriene uses bold colors, shapes, and subject matter to highlight the human experience and the intersectionality between identity (who we are externally), self (who we are internally), and purpose (who we are intrinsically). By focusing on her own self-discovery, she has tapped into a whimsical method of storytelling that liberates others to do the same.

As the founder of BLACK GIRLS WHO PAINT®, she additionally catalogs and curates a directory of Black woman artists, which further communicates her artistic voice on a larger scale. In bridging together identity, self, and purpose, Sasha-Loriene aims to be the change she wants to see, including cultivating the community she needed as a young girl.
