New Generation Scholars Intergenerational Institute - NGSII

Hello everybody✌🏽 ! My name is Angelica Elizabeth Jones () and I am a mixed-media painter and educator from High Point, North Carolina. I’m incredibly excited to announce that I am a part of the 2025 New Generation Scholars Young Artist Archival (NGSYAA) Cohort! Alongside being in this program, I am a second-semester Senior at the Maryland institute college of art where I will be receiving my BFA in painting! My art practice mainly consists of life-size Black portraiture depicted on a myriad of surfaces. I capture authentic, vulnerable and sometimes visceral moments of Black q***r community and wrestle with themes of beauty, rest, and escapism from this lens.

It’s been an honor to be a part of this cohort and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on!
