Richard Beavers Gallery And Black Art In America Announce Co-Representation Of Lynthia Edwards

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” - African proverb

This collaboration brings a meaningful journey full circle. Richard Beavers first encountered Lynthia’s evocative work through a Black Art in America post years ago, sparked by a shared love for the Southern Black experience. Today, that connection is being formalized through a mutual commitment to expand Lynthia’s vibrant narratives across the country.

Founded in 2007, Richard Beavers Gallery is a Brooklyn-based contemporary art gallery committed to presenting artists whose work investigates the social, political, and cultural realities at the forefront of Black life. With a respected presence in the New York art world, the gallery brings deep collector relationships, curatorial vision, and a commitment to placing Black artists within broader national and global conversations.

Founded in 2010, Black Art in America is a leading multifaceted arts company whose mission has been documenting, preserving and promoting the contributions of the African American arts community. Through its national media reach, editorial storytelling, collector network, curated museum and corporate exhibitions, art fairs, and the BAIA Gallery and Gardens in Atlanta, Georgia. BAIA brings cultural stewardship and a powerful community-rooted platform to this partnership.

Lynthia Edwards is a multidisciplinary artist from Alexander City, Alabama, whose work serves as a soulful meditation on Black girlhood, memory, family, faith, and Southern life. Her vibrant compositions and intricate quilting patterns celebrate resilience, beauty, strength, and identity. Through her paintings, she honors the generations of women who came before her, stitching together a visual legacy that is both nostalgic and revolutionary.
