My name is Ja-Miyah Hurry, and I am a freelancing artist who has just finished college, gaining my Bachelor of Arts degree from The University of Alabama. I tend to create illustrations in the form of paintings and graphite pieces, though I am beginning to create digital illustrations very soon. I hope to find a career in the field I tend to apply for to expand my learning beyond my university.

    uniE621 Full Tranqulity
    This is an intaglio print, illustrating the peace I feel whenever I am listening to my music and reading at the same time.
    uniE621 Navigating Through my Sexuality
    I have created multiple pieces for my body of work, comprised of four larger pieces, measured 44 x 60, and four smaller pieces individually connected to each larger piece. For this project, I have decided to illustrate a visual of a navigation. This navigation consists of navigating my sexuality and the emotions connected to each part. It is comprised of a narrative-like visual, beginning with the thought of seeing myself as a straight woman and ending with the reassurance of my current sexuality, a lesbian. Each piece was created using acrylic paint and ink, with the figures sketched in graphite over the background before they were also painted. As each piece was created, they had shown many intimate and personal experiences as I tried navigating through my sexuality.
    uniE621 Past and Present
    This is a painting, created using oil paints, of a connection between the past and the present. It is illustrated to indicate the many times that I would think about the future when I was younger and wonder what I would do with my life, and also look back at the past currently to think about all of the things that I would do differently. This is why the two figures are looking back at each other.
