Hippo Artz Apothecary
A repository of experimentation with color, texture, storytelling, and release, where emotion, dream, and defiance spill across canvas.
Meet the Alchemist
I am Hippo Artz
I paint figures suspended in surreal landscapes—bodies reshaped by violence, survival, and reclamation. My artwork sits in the tension between oppression and defiance, inviting viewers to look longer than comfort allows.
“I am a pessimist if I am not careful.” — Octavia E. Butler
Using acrylic on canvas and unfinished wood as my primary medium-every piece is layered with emotion, lived experience, and a shimmer of Black Girl Magic.

— Beauty, visibility, identity, representation, belonging.
— Tender reckonings, grief-work, remembrance.
