Naudline Pierre

Pierre's work incorporates traditional art historical references such as Renaissance portraiture, religious iconography, and figuration to create vibrant compositions.

Pierre is the offspring of Haitian immigrants to the United States, her father is a church minister, and religious storytelling as well as Biblical narratives were ever-present while the artist was growing up.
