ABOUT

SACHA C. REID

Sacha Christine Reid is a multidisciplinary artist and painter hailing from West Virginia. She draws inspiration from her Jamaican heritage, the beauty and resilience of Black women, and the rich tapestry of Black familial experiences. Her work is a vibrant celebration of Black culture, often exploring themes of identity and storytelling through intricate details and dynamic compositions, specifically gravitating towards the motif of natural hair as a narrative tool.

After graduating from Howard University with a BA in Interdisciplinary Humanities with a Painting Minor, Sacha balances her studio practice with a passion for curation, creating spaces where art and community intersect. She believes in the power of art to serve as both a historical record and a catalyst for dialogue. Whether capturing intimate moments through her figurative paintings that highlight the artistry that is Black hair or creating pieces inspired by colors and fabrics that speak to Afro-Caribbean heritage, her work is grounded in honoring her roots and amplifying meaningful narratives. Furthering her curatorial interests, Sacha is currently a graduate student at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, where is will receive her MA in Art History.

Through her art and practice, Sacha aims to leave a lasting impact by celebrating culture, championing community, and sharing beauty with the world.
