Johnice Parker (Dallas)
After the Ride II, 2002
Pastel on board
36 x 60 in.
Johnice Parker describes her artistic
inspiration with the following quote: “Before
I begin to create any artwork, I sit at my easel and
ask for God’s guidance. It is through His direction
that my work evolves. As I focused on these western
subjects, I was inspired by the contributions that
are so often overlooked regarding black cowboys and
cowgirls of color. As we pray for blessings on America,
that prayer must include these strong men and women
who helped to make and shape Her. I honor them through
this body of work.”
Parker received a BFA from the Memphis
Academy of Art and did post-graduate studies at Memphis
State University. Her work is found in impressive
collections such as those of B. B. King, Memphis Slim,
and Alberta Hunter. She has also produced artwork
for the sets of The Cosby Show and Waiting to Exhale.
