D Douglas

Demeree, artistically known as D. Douglas, is a Jamaican-American mixed media artist born and raised in Connecticut. Graduating from Temple University with a Bachelor’s in Studio Art, Demeree wanted to find a unique way to make a breakthrough into the art industry. Years later in 2016, Demeree’s own personal natural hair journey became the inspirational stepping stone she was looking for. Demeree’s collection of work explores women of color who are a part of the Natural Hair Movement. A movement that encourages men and women of African descent to embrace their natural hair texture. As such, a common theme you’ll see in her work is a reflection of herself - a black woman daring to “normalize” black hair by embracing her own natural curls. She often incorporates various textures such as flowers and glitter to globally represent the beauty of black hair. Her pieces also include abstract elements to represent the numerous interpretations behind not only black hair and black art, but the black woman herself.
