Artist: Sukenya Best | Location: Richmond, VA
Richmond, VA
Sukenya Best was born in New York City, where her origins in visual art, faith in God, dance, and cultural community festivals began. In the 90s her family moved to Richmond Virginia, which has been her home for over 30 years. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2001. As an undergraduate student she studied Baroque art history in London, Europe. There she observed first-hand paintings by Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Frans Hals. She also traveled to Zimbabwe, Africa, to study drawing and batik making. When she attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville (earned a M.F.A in 2007) she continued to explore printmaking on fabric and dance.
In addition to her studies Sukenya enjoyed working with the youth. She has 12 years' teaching experience at the collegiate level and 5 years within the community. It is especially important for her to create colorful artwork that is vibrant and imaginative, to inspire others to continue dreaming.
