Princess Simpson Rashid

Princess Simpson Rashid is an American abstract and conceptual artist working in painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and data visualization.

She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Georgia State University and worked as a nano-science researcher at Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) as a Ronald E. McNair Scholar. She later studied painting, printmaking and sculpture at The School of Plastic Arts and Design in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Her current body of work explores the relationship between color, perception and symbolism. She investigates the role the brain plays in how we experience our environment and create our reality. Her focus is on the magic behind human creativity. Her design process places special emphasis on the “doodle” and “squiggle” as important exploratory elements for idea generation, memory encoding and recall.

Her paintings and original prints have been exhibited in museums, art centers, galleries and alternative art spaces across the United States, including the Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis, MN where her print, "Monoliths" was awarded Best in Show in their biennial Stand Out Prints 2022 international exhibit, juried by William Villalongo, a 2022 Rome Prize awardee.

Rashid currently operates her art practice in the US Southeast Region. Her primary studio is located within the CoRK Arts District of Jacksonville, FL.
