Black Omi Art Co.

Our internal battles cause external decisions. Katurah’s Crossing was created to emphasize the feeling of unease in moving within the unknown.

The use of various colorways in my paintings is intentional and plays a crucial role in conveying the depth of emotion and individuality within each piece. Colors are carefully chosen to evoke different moods, from vibrant and bold to soft and contemplative. This diverse palette reflects the myriad of emotions that women experience, emphasizing that there is no singular definition of beauty. By embracing a range of colors, I aim to break free from traditional norms and create a visual narrative that resonates with the complexities of femininity.

Invocation Of Oya

As I explored African goddesses, seeking one who matched the energy of my creation, it wasn’t until I read the description of Oya that I found her. Often depicted in red, with a copper crown, Oya is the goddess of weather, revered for her love and protection of her people. Her themes include justice, tradition, zeal, and femininity, while her symbols are fire, water, and the number 9.

This painting set explores the theme of vulnerability through figures in closed-off, protective poses. Each form is painted to resemble stone, symbolizing both fragility and resilience. The stone-like texture evokes a sense of permanence, yet the figures’ postures suggest an emotional weight, as if they are bracing against the pressures of the world. These pieces invite the viewer to reflect on the tension between vulnerability and strength, and how we sometimes shield ourselves to survive life’s trials.

Meet Genea Morrow

Genea Morrow is a self-taught artist and creative entrepreneur based out of Seattle. Her interest in art began in 2012 but it wasn’t until 2021 when Genea launched Black Omi Art Co. Though her journey wasn’t always easy, she often opens up about her struggles with imposter syndrome and how she continuously works on her insecurities surrounding her late start to painting

As the founder of Sensual Sessions Paint and Sips, she has redefined the traditional paint and sip experience, infusing it with sensuality, empowerment, and artistic expression. Her desire to share her vision with a broader audience, Genea is working on expanding  Sensual Sessions Paint and Sips to more cities, currently holding sessions in Pioneer Square and Lynnwood, Wa.

In addition to her work with Sensual Sessions, Genea continues to create and exhibit her own artwork. With a passion for curating exhibitions, her latest show, The Art of the Female Gesture, was presented in collaboration with fellow artist BareNaked Tiffany at Gallery Erato in June 2024. Her upcoming solo exhibition, The Dark Fae of Lûmenis: The Shadow Court, is scheduled for November 2024 at Gallery Erato

She now creates paintings that tell her story, a story heavily influenced by her history with religion and  spirituality, overshadowed by her exploration of her sensuality.Her pieces have been featured in galleries and exhibitions across the country, earning recognition for their depth, beauty, and emotional resonance.
