NMWA Strawberry Card

Our Strawberry card is part of our National Museum of Women in the Arts Collection inspired by Amy Sherald's painting They Call Me Redbone But I’d Rather Be Strawberry Shortcake.

Through her evocative portraits, Sherald unsettles dominant views of African American culture and history. By painting her figures’ skin in grayscale, the artist metaphorically removes their “color.”

I was drawn to this piece by the vibrant colors and important message the grayscale skintone conveys, I pulled from the pattern in the subject’s dress to create my strawberry design. I incorporated the playfulness of the berries along with the polka dots and colors.
