Curious — Portrait of a Young African-American Girl in Red and Purple

An oil painting capturing the wide-eyed curiosity of a young African-American girl. Painted in vibrant red, orange-pink, and purple tones, this portrait celebrates childlike wonder, exploration, and the magic of discovery.

While many adults become consumed by the seriousness of life, a fortunate few preserve the gift of curiosity — the ability to pause, observe, and see the world with fresh eyes. This painting celebrates that childlike wonder: wide-eyed exploration, endless questions, and awe in the face of the unknown. It’s about reclaiming a sense of renewal, staying open to discovery, and courageously chasing dreams without needing all the answers. “Curious” is a portrait of those who never stop seeking and find magic in the world around them.
