You and I Make Sense
You and I Make Sense is an original oil painting that celebrates quiet confidence, grace, and the beauty of simply being. An elegant black woman draped in soft olive green emerges from a richly textured field of layered whites and warm grays. The viewer is encouraged to pause and reflect upon the space between realism and abstraction. Award-winning artist Shakia Harris combines expressive palette knife work with loose figurative brushwork, allowing texture, movement, and emotion to speak louder than facial features.
