It feels like New York-based artist Nichole Washington (MPS 2016 Digital Photography) is having a moment. Incorporating elements of painting, photography and design in her mixed-media work, Washington creates bold, expressive pieces that have been commissioned by Black Girls Code, Film Movement and HBO. Recently, she created photo illustrations of Black historical figures and artists like the seminal late author and essayist Toni Morrison and Hannah Beachler, the production designer for Marvel’s Black Panther movie, for the National Afro-American Museum. Washington was also recently featured in Refinery29 for photographing up-and-coming star Dominque Fishback for her acclaimed performance in Judas and the Black Messiah.
