Bio

Yvonne Ferguson was born in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida and moved to Gainesville, Florida as a toddler. Always yearning for the creative arts, her childhood was spent gravitating to anything artistic -- books, graphics, paints, chalks, crayons, and comics --all culminating in a desire to create. Birthed by Yvonne Ferguson, Diasporic Pigments is her celebration of the beauty, history, culture, and people of the African diaspora through art and the practice of Sankofa. This online gallery features images of her paintings of cultural and human rights icons as well as notable and groundbreaking creatives.
