"Hey Lady" is the Caribbean woman art print that carries the whole heat and color of Cartagena in a single frame—a vibrant Colombian fruit vendor, her wares balanced impossibly on her head beneath a vivid red turban, painted on location by Antionette Simmons Hodges in 2001. This is travel art, cultural art, and portraiture all at once, and it is impossible to look away from.
Hodges painted this work during a visit to Cartagena, Colombia, where the palenqueras—Afro-Colombian women who have sold fruit in the city's streets for generations—became the subject of one of her most joyful and alive works. The woman Hodges depicts stands with a ease and authority born of long tradition, her posture both practical and magnificent. The fruits she carries burst with color against the vivid reds and tropical blues of her clothing, and Hodges renders the whole scene with the warm, direct energy of someone who was genuinely moved by what she witnessed.
This is Afrocentric wall art that reaches across geography—a piece that honors the Afro-Latin women of the Caribbean coast while connecting to a broader story about Black women's labor, beauty, and cultural pride across the diaspora. The tropical palette of vivid reds, warm blues, and earth tones makes it one of the most visually energetic works in Hodges's catalog.
Hang "Hey Lady" in a kitchen, dining room, living room, or any space that welcomes color and cultural vitality. It makes an inspired gift for anyone who loves travel art, Caribbean culture, or Afrocentric wall decor—ideal for birthdays, housewarmings, and any occasion that calls for something genuinely spirited.
This archival-quality giclée print is produced on premium cotton rag paper with museum-grade inks that preserve Hodges's vivid tropical palette with full fidelity. Available in sizes from 9×7" to 23×19", with select sizes featuring an optional ½" white margin for effortless framing.
Antionette Simmons Hodges paints the world she has witnessed with love and precision—bring "Hey Lady" home and let Cartagena's color find a permanent place on your wall.

Product Details & Legal Information
Paper & Materials
We use Somerset Velvet Fine Art Paper, a 100% cotton, acid-free, archival-quality paper with a soft, textured surface. This museum-grade paper is engineered to resist fading and deterioration, making it ideal for lasting fine art prints.
Each print is produced using archival giclée ink, a pigment-based ink system known for its superior longevity, depth, and color accuracy. Giclée (pronounced “zhee-clay”) printing is the gold standard in fine art reproduction, offering exceptional detail and dynamic range. The result is a vibrant, durable image that honors the integrity of the original artwork—perfect for collectors and admirers of quality.
Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity of your fine art print, keep it out of direct sunlight, which can cause fading over time. For optimal preservation, consider framing the print using UV-protective glass and archival materials. Store and display it in a cool, dry environment to prevent humidity-related damage. Always handle your print with clean, dry hands to avoid smudges or oils transferring to the paper. Avoid spraying any cleaning solutions or moisture directly onto the print surface. With proper care, your archival-quality print will retain its color, clarity, and impact for generations.
