Artist Ebony Johnson Wright sits in front of her painting, "Portrait of Jamal." She primarily paints Black figures to showcase the beauty and joy of Black individuals rather than the pain and discrimination frequently portrayed in art. "I just want them to look like they are important," Wright said about her portraits. "Like they mean something to the world." Wright's work has been featured in many galleries, including at UCM, and she has also won multiple awards for her art and the messages it covers.
