Artsy
Artist Bio:
Rasheem (known for saying just call me Rasheem) is a self-taught mixed-media artist. She is originally from Florida and moved to Baltimore, Maryland in 2009 where she met and married Art, not exactly but almost literally. She met her; now husband a realism painter and Baltimore native over Art. Her mediums are pencil, various types of pastel, and charcoal. In the Summer of 2017, She completed a 4 part mural called “Black Matter”, three parts of which were done on ceilings.
Subject Matter:
Rasheem is a Womanist Artist whose art encourages a critical examination of society and culture through the lens of race, gender, and class. Her work centralizes the lives and experiences of marginalized populations. Rasheem’s work contributes to the growing body of art that is dedicated to the expression and celebration of Black Women & Girls. Her influences are interdisciplinary, varied, and largely come from lived-experiences. There is no separation between her passions, her politics, and her artistic expression. Much like her politics, her mediums are a combination of precision and messiness. While her medium is most often pencil, charcoal and various types of pastel, she frequently uses mixed media. In addition to being a visual artist, S. Rasheem is a poet. Her poetry can sometimes be found within the contours of her visual art expression.
