Chermia Lucas is a self-taught painter based in Baltimore, MD. Her work explores themes of identity, selfhood, and collective memory through the lens of the African American experience. Guided by a foundation of love, unity, and liberation, her paintings serve as visual narratives that honor everyday moments, ancestral connections, and untold stories.

Rooted in both personal reflection and cultural storytelling, Chermia’s practice is deeply informed by her lived experiences as a mother and educator. These perspectives shape her approach to artmaking intuitive, intentional, and emotionally resonant. Her work invites viewers into a space of contemplation, where beauty and truth exist in quiet resistance.
