The Women of Jazz and Blues: Etta, Billie, and Nina
Medium: Sublimated prints on floating cards
Size: 11 x 18 framed with black matte
This piece honors three of the most commanding voices in American music—Etta James, Billie Holiday, and Nina Simone. Each portrait is sublimated onto an individual card and mounted to float within a deep black matte, creating dimension and reverence around every icon. The floating presentation gives each woman her own sacred space, while the shared frame binds them together in legacy.
Set against rich, warm tones, the portraits pulse with emotion—Etta’s raw power, Billie’s aching vulnerability, and Nina’s intellectual fire. They were not just singers; they were truth-tellers. Through jazz and blues, they transformed pain into poetry and resistance into rhythm.
The 11 x 18 format offers a balanced, intimate presentation—large enough to command attention, yet focused enough to feel personal.
This is not simply a tribute. It is a framed acknowledgment of three women who reshaped music, culture, and the emotional vocabulary of a generation.
