A. Billi Free is a vocalist, emcee, DJ and beat maker. Her sound is rooted in electric blend of hip hop, soul and electronica. We connected via instagram a few years ago and I've often listened to her music while painting in my studio. In 2020 Billi posted a few images taken by Arizona based photographer R.Ariel and this portrait was painted from one of those shots. I was drawn to the vibrant lighting, moody shadows and striking palette and wanted the challenge of capturing it all in paint, while also allowing Billi's easy going nature to show.
