The mixed-media painting is notable for utilizing a dense background of layered, signature acetone image transfers that include: Michelle Obama's Childhood Home, The Robinson Family Car, Historical Figures & Events, Everyday Memorabilia & Pop Culture, Presidency Artifacts, & Chicago & Family Life.
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
