About The Artist

Jonelle Lightbourne is a digital artist based in New York City.

Her artwork seeks to combine digital paintings, digital graphics, podcasts, and hyperlinks to tell the stories of those who can’t tell it themselves. More specifically, to tell the story of women of color who come from regions where access to technology is limited.

The research that she does for her digital creations is extensive, but the manifestation of that research is made accessible in her work. A lot of the work is modeled after her personal experiences.

Themes of love and sorrow are refracted through the lenses of Feminism, class consciousness, and media criticism.
