Celebrate the bold elegance of black woman art with this vibrant giclée print. Based on Antionette Simmons Hodges’ 1995 acrylic painting, 'Annabelle’s New Hat' captures the profile of a confident, dark-skinned woman dressed in a bright yellow garment and a wide orange sun hat, complete with a daisy.
This striking piece of black woman art highlights beauty, culture, and individuality through simplified forms and rich color. Annabelle’s warm chocolate-brown skin, defined in bold, flat shapes, stands out against a vivid green background— drawing the viewer into her quiet strength and self-assurance.
Rooted in the artist’s memories of church hats and fashion-forward women from the mid-20th century, this artwork is a love letter to the traditions and pride reflected in black woman art. The stylized pose and accessories speak to heritage and personal style, often seen in African American communities as expressions of dignity and identity.
