Nicoya Dominique Callahan (She/They) is a Queer Black biracial visual artist and registered nurse born and raised in Broward County, Florida. Working primarily in oil painting and collage, with occasional video, Callahan creates work that is inseparable from lived experience. Their practice interacts with cycles of addiction and hereditary trauma that shape their bloodline, while also venturing into experiences that are entirely new to it: acts of healing, creativity, and becoming that feel radical in their unfamiliarity. In this way, the work becomes both a reverberation and a karmic veering.
