feature: the “imaginary pools” of self-taught artist yoko

Explore the paintings of self-taught artist Yoko (aka Toyia Nicole). Born in north Hollywood California and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Yoko has been creating art all her life and describes her work as a reflection of her spirit and the “imaginary pools” of her mind; stating, “I find myself getting lost in the many secret worlds that I have inside of me.. And these are the faces of that world and the colors. I create most of the colors myself. That is my favorite part!”. Check out her work below.
