Sooo I was the recipient of the 2020 Alain Locke award presented by the Friends of African and African American Art (FAAAA) at the Detroit Institute of Arts museum today. I’ve been so nervous about it, I was afraid to share it. But @lamarlander
Sooo I was the recipient of the 2020 Alain Locke award presented by the Friends of African and African American Art (FAAAA) at the Detroit Institute of Arts museum today. I’ve been so nervous about it, I was afraid to share it. But @lamarlanders was able to capture how proud I truly am immaculately. I was a train wreck this morning and the days preceding but I got it together and presented my work with confidence. This is only the beginning of my journey and I patiently await the “what’s next?” of it all. #grateful #faaaa #dia #detroitinstitueofarts #artistlife #iwasinthepresenceoflegends #mamawemakinit #mamawemadeit #fineartist #illustrator #muralist #painter #sydney #sydneygjames #sydneyjamesart #girlraisedindetroit #photoby @lamarlanders #lamarlanders @diadetroit @faaaa_dia

“For this special Art addition of Theorematic, I traveled to Freetown, Sierra Leone with Sydney G. James. The homegrown Detroit fine artist/muralist is now leaving her Thumbprint around the globe. And Sydney’s trip back to our mother continent makes her second Theorematic appearance a must see! Sydney talks about her relationship with Affixed productions and We Yone Foundation, working alongside Sierra Leone based artists, Hawa Bangura and Felix R. and the creative challenges she had to work through. From the peaceful and loving interfaith culture, the natural beauty of every state of black, pure joy of children‘s laughter to the fresh snapper, I was overwhelmed with humility and love.” #Music provided by @damewylde #theorematic @theorematic @lamarlanders link in bio #Freetown #sierraleone thank you to @affixedproductions @maaaacish and @wycf_sl for having me. #grateful #art #artlife #mural #blackislove #africa @hawa_jane @felix_da_housekat #painting #sydneygjames #sydneyjamesart

#day1 #wip #buildinstitutedetroit #waitforit This is the second week in February 2020 and this is my 4th mural of the decade. (I had to repaint my Memphis wall because it got terribly damaged). It’s actually my first wall in in Detroit since 2018 😲#jonnionthespot @jonni_lyn makes another #detroit appearance. I have many adjustments to make but hey I started it 🤷🏽‍♀️. #mural #murals #busybee #datsme #painting #girlsonwalls #sydney #sydneygjames #sydneyjamesart Shoutout to the creator of my favorite #earrings #yolandanichelle
