Title: Women of Jazz and Blues: Memphis Minnie & Sarah Vaughan
Medium: Acrylic on floating cards with handmade paper
Size: Framed 22 × 12
This piece brings together two towering voices of American music—Memphis Minnie and Sarah Vaughan—in a quiet, reverent pairing that feels both intimate and iconic.
Each portrait is rendered on a floating 2.5 × 3 card, mounted against a rich, deep pinkish-red handmade paper that adds warmth, texture, and a sense of reverence. The scale invites the viewer to lean in, creating a personal encounter with these legendary artists rather than a distant, monumental one.
The vertical composition and shared framing allow Minnie and Vaughan to exist in conversation across generations and genres—blues and jazz, grit and elegance, raw emotion and technical mastery. The negative space and careful presentation elevate the portraits into artifacts, honoring their lasting influence while emphasizing individuality over spectacle.
Framed at 22 × 12, the piece reads like a curated moment in music history—two women, two voices, held in balance and given equal weight, presence, and respect.
