Jianna Sobhani, a local student artist, began her artistic journey at age five. Primarily working with oil and acrylic paints, she’s now delving into watercolor and multimedia. Drawing from her personal experiences—including her adoption and mental health struggles—she channels her passion for celebrating the beauty and resilience of Black women. Her art serves a dual purpose: it’s both a reflection of her own journey and a call to action for diverse representation. Jianna’s goal is clear—to create powerful and affirming portraits of strong role models for the next generation of Black youth.
