About the Artist

Grace Lynne Haynes investigates the relationship between painting, drawing, and storytelling to communicate elaborate fictional narratives of her own creation. Haynes incorporates an unconventional approach to drawing material and surface by applying pastel and pure pigment on primed paper. She explores how the process of world building can become a zone of creative and cultural liberation and a means of addressing racism and sexism by inventing new ways of being in the world. By fluidly shifting between fantasy and reality she utilizes the imaginative strategies of science fiction and Afrofuturism to envision alternative futures for people of African descent.
