My name is Bathscheba Ebony Nefertari Duronvil. Ebony meaning Black and Nefertari meaning Queen: Black Queen. I am the descendant of my mother ancestors for Haiti. I embody the spirit of the Arawak and Tiano natives of Hispaniola. I inherit the blood of the tribal people of West Africa and acknowledge my French descent through the pillaging of Black bodies. I am a Black woman. I say this not to sound full of myself but instead to embrace my identity.

My art is my identity, it unlocks stories of myself. Through it, you can see pain, happiness, love, lust, regret, jealousy, and anger; everything that makes me human. I draw Black because Black is the color of my soul. Black is love. Black is light. Black is strength, happiness, and Insight. Most importantly, Black is Beautiful and that is my art.
