​CURRICULUM VITAE

Shauntrice is a mother, abolitionist, and artist. Her work explores longing, identity, and struggle through mixed media. She was born and raised in Louisville, KY and currently serves as a lobbyist. Her artwork has reflected a tumultuous yet triumphant trajectory. The use of acrylics, textile, sculpture, and photography blend in her pieces to create sometimes haunting images of the lives Black and Indigenous people could have lived if white supremacy never existed. She created Chahta Noir as a resource & outlet for artists to develop, network, and BE.

Shauntrice is a Black/Choctaw contemporary artist & curator loving in Kentucky. She was the inaugural Speed Art Museum Artist-In-Residence and Louisville Visual Art (LVA) Curatorial Fellow. Shauntrice's museum solo exhibition "Something in the Water" was featured at the Speed Art Museum 2021-22. Most recently, she curated a permanent exhibit entitled "Sweet Fire" with Play Cousins Collective in the Historic Lyles Mall. 

Shauntrice's "Gateway" Collection will debut at the Muhammad Ali Center in April 2023. You can follow her journey on instagram: @ChahtaNoir
