Artist Profile

Aislinn Finnegan
Mixed media artist of mixed-race heritage
Aislinn's illustrations focus on concepts of race, identity, and femininity in an attempt to disseminate and celebrate aspects of black culture and beauty in a world dominated by “Western” concepts and aesthetics. As a mixed-media student, with a focus on illustration, Aislinn's work is an afro-futuristic personal response to the perceived lack of representation of black women that she has come across over various forms of media and art. As a woman of mixed-race heritage (Zambia and Ireland) she concentrates on concepts of race, identity, and femininity in an attempt to disseminate and celebrate aspects of black culture and beauty in an art world dominated by “Western” concepts and aesthetics.
