Nia Imani Winslow, originally from Washington, DC, is a self-taught collage artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Nia draws inspiration from artists including Romare Bearden, Kerry James Marshall, Faith Ringgold, and Jacob Lawrence to illustrate the colorful essences of Black figures in each of her compositions. Her work combines the complexities of different textures, cuttings and clippings to illuminate figures, moods and stories, and highlights moments of resilience, resourcefulness, love and community. Mundane or complex, Nia’s work is designed to represent a conglomeration of pieces employed to depict separate, but sometimes similar Black existences.

Nia’s work has been featured in Colossal, Vogue, Artsy, the Harvard Business Review and Art Seen: The Curator’s Salon Magazine.
