Myasia Dowdell with Spike Lee

Myasia Dowdell

Myasia’s work is equal parts imagination and careful observation. Myasia alternates between naturalistic portraits of her favorite celebrities and cartoonish renderings of fantastic creatures, including her “seasonal sheep” - a character of her own invention with features that change with the seasons. Myasia often includes short, aspirational phrases in her drawings. These poems and sayings are the result of a personal commitment to greater awareness and self-improvement. Myasia’s work is widely collected, with many of her portraits in the collection of Spike Lee.
