Savannah Jean-Pharuns

I am a mixed-media visual artist born and raised in Miami, Florida. My passion for art was ignited at the age of 11 when I first recognized my creative talent. This passion guided me through middle and high schools renowned for their art programs, where I earned numerous awards for my work. I further honed my skills in pre-college programs at the Kansas City Art Institute and the School of Visual Arts. Today, I continue to evolve as an artist at the prestigious Cornell University.

My work is dedicated to amplifying the voices of underserved communities. I strive to evoke deep emotional responses and inspire action through the stories I convey in my art. The everyday moments I encounter fuel my creativity, motivating me to capture their significance on canvas. Painting these glimpses of life feels not just important but essential.

Looking ahead, my goal is to create pieces that reflect the moments and issues I often see on social media—topics that are frequently overlooked or lack clear answers. I aim to bring these unresolved subjects to the forefront, offering a visual representation that encourages reflection and dialogue.
