We are proud to present the work of emerging artist Katiana Jarbath Smith, whose bold, realist paintings celebrate the people, stories, and spiritual heritage of the African Diaspora. Through vibrant color, expressive brushwork, and large-scale figurative forms, Smith captures moments of resilience, dignity, and deep emotional presence.

Rooted in a lifelong artistic journey and shaped by a commitment to representation and inclusion, her work honors marginalized communities while affirming their essential place in the American story. Infused with reverence for indigenous and African spiritual traditions, Smith’s paintings invite reflection, connection, and transformation—using art as a powerful tool for education, empowerment, and social change.

Light refreshments will be served.
