Jayda Murray Rooms We Carry, 2026 Acrylic paint on canvas 36" x 48" This piece explores the idea of the mind as a house filled with rooms we carry with us. Each room represents a different thought, memory, emotion, or experience that has shaped who we are. The fragmented scenes and small figures within the house reflect the complexity of our inner world and how different parts of ourselves can exist simultaneously. Some rooms may hold comfort, while others carry pain, confusion, or memories we may not always know how to process. Rather than trying to erase or fix these experiences, the work explores the idea of learning to live alongside them, understanding them, and making space for them. Through this piece, I express how we carry our past and present within us, creating an internal home made up of everything we have experienced. 1400$

Acrylic paint on canvas 36” by 48” This piece explores the relationship between appearance, identity, and strength. Her hair represents the way society often connects beauty with confidence and power, while the panther symbolizes the strength she feels she gains through that transformation. Yet, her true power is not found in her appearance—it lives in her personality, experiences, and soul. The piece questions why we feel we must change how we look to access a strength that has always been within us.

Acrylic paint on canvas 36” x 48” Spencer Barbosa is a key figure in the “body positivity” movement, normalizing bodies of all shapes and sizes while promoting self-love. This painting represents the moment I decided to become the person I want to be, without letting my body limit me in my pursuit of happiness. Since subscribing to her platform, I’ve started to believe in myself, seeing her as a constant symbol of encouragement and confidence. Alongside Aristotle, she is one of two women with the courage to be themselves and share that powerful message with the world.

This piece represents Black love in its purest, truest, and most beautiful form. Two Black faces touch, rest against one another, a soft yet powerful affirmation: we are here, together, and that is enough. Within this intimacy lies a form of resistance—standing against the often-absent or stereotyped portrayals of our bodies, our bonds, our tenderness. The looks they exchange — or perhaps share with us — express rare trust, a mutual refuge. The inversion of their posture deepens this feeling of suspension, as though their love exists in its own protected space. The turquoise, almost liquid background adds to this sense of a world of their own — a world that soothes. It is a painting about love, yes. But also about representation: about what it means to be seen, to know you are worthy of being painted, of being looked at, of existing on a canvas without needing to justify your presence. This is my tribute to the beauty of Black connection — to its quiet strength, to its healing power.

4x6 Fun Guy

Acrylic and gel pen on canvas

Fun Guy is a piece I did to jog my imagination and creativity.  I used many poppy colours in this piece to incite the

feeling of joy and wonder.  The pallette is similar to one you might see at an Arcade or a casino.  

This piece would make a great addition

to any hang out space or a wonderful gift for a nature lover in your life.
