Sharidyn Barnes (M.F.A., painting) is an artist from Dallas, Texas who
captures the personal relationships and experiences
as an African American woman. She seeks to create a
universal understanding by exploring the individuality
and uniqueness of people. She challenges the idea of
her own skin by using the figure to question beauty
and how the media often manipulates society’s
perceptions. These concepts are made for the
audience to gain self confidence in being
unapologetically themselves. After receiving her
bachelor's degree in painting from Jackson State
University, she is currently a seeking her MFA in
painting at Savannah College of Art and Design.
