Drew Borders is an Atlanta-born and -based visual artist, focused on mural paintings and works in digital illustration and animations. Borders likes bold, bright colors with recurring yellows, pinks and blues.

“I just want people to feel the same energy that I’m feeling when I create it,” Borders said.

She often features Black and brown women in stylistic portraiture, considering representation an important aspect of her artistic practice.
