Cagney King

Cagney King was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. King's southern roots mix bravely with an urban undertone to create her abstract portraiture. Her work exaggerates emotion to push forth layer upon layer of texture.
King works and experiments endlessly to find the perfect mix of mediums and layered culminations to create her art which primarily focuses on mixed media abstract portraiture.
King's works have been profiled in American Art Collector, NY 2017; Artist Portfolio Issue 17; and Studio Visit Magazine Volumes 25 and 35. King was one of 48 artists chosen from an International juried pool to be featured in Bangstyle, a book published on the West Coast in 2012; featuring working contemporary, urban, and street artists in the US and Europe.
Her works are in the permanent collections of private and corporate collectors in Indianapolis, Georgia, Arkansas, Florida, New York, and Michigan.
King's gallery representation [past and present] includes Miami, New York, and Indianapolis galleries.

Formal art training at Ball State University – Muncie, IN. – while working to obtain a Bachelor's in Telecommunications. After graduating, King studied informally at Herron School of Art/IUPUI – Indianapolis, IN. – and continues to study independently through self-exploration and learning new techniques and execution.
