Sacred Beginnings - Original Artwork - Mixed Media Collage - Framed Original
Sacred Beginnings by Simone Anthony-Brown
Sacred Beginnings is a striking mixed media collage by artist Simone Anthony-Brown, celebrating the sacred journey of Black motherhood and the resilience, beauty, and strength of Black mothers. This piece honors their vital role in birthing and nurturing the next generation, while also making a powerful statement on prenatal equity and maternal care. Rooted in themes of love, protection, play, and laughter for children of color, this artwork serves as both a heartfelt prayer and a call for a more equitable future.
Meticulously crafted, this mixed media collage incorporates recycled paintings, black-and-white imagery, prepared papers, oil pastels, and acrylic paint, resulting in richly layered textures that reflect the complexities of motherhood. The four symbolic circles in the composition represent wholeness, balance, and interconnectedness, while the collaged text—a prayer for Black children—conveys the hopes and dreams of mothers committed to ensuring a brighter, more just future for their children.
The original pieces from this series were featured in the 2025 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Black History Month Exhibit, titled “Labor: Giving Birth to Resilience, Equity, and Community.”
