About the artwork

As an Austin artist, I painted QUEEN live during SXSW at Neiman Marcus in Austin. It is a vibrant celebration of individuality, feminine strength, and unapologetic self-expression.

Painted in front of shoppers and festival attendees, this mixed-media artwork combines bold spray paint, layered collage, torn posters, and gritty street-art textures. At its center, a striking portrait of a woman with electric pink braids commands attention, while the iconic Texas Capitol and expressive purple “QUEEN” lettering connect the piece to Austin’s creative culture.

Following SXSW, the completed artwork was auctioned and later displayed at the Neiman Marcus location at The Domain in Austin, bringing the energy of street art into a luxury retail setting.
