Malikah Tamirah

My name is Malikah Tamirah, I am born and raised in Savannah, Georgia. I am currently a senior at the Savannah College of Art & Design getting my BFA in painting. My work centers on showing my life and upbringing while depicting people important to me, family members, friends, and my community while placing them in memorable settings to trigger a nostalgic feeling. I'm interested in developing my paintings to incorporate branding, fashion, and music influence from my early and current life in Savannah, allowing individuals to see the world through my lens as a young female painter. I create a world in my paintings using my own photographic references combined with my drawing and painting technique.
