LaToya M. Hobbs, a visual artist who grew up in North Little Rock, makes work that is often epic in scope, but deeply intimate in its subject material. The bulk of Hobbs’ art spotlights the Black women she admires most, and through grand, tender and solemn mixed media portraits, the faces and bodies of local cornerstones are seen anew. Her most ambitious piece, “Carving Out Time,” which was created over the course of several months, is a series of nearly life-size woodcuts from her family life. Her work will be featured in the reopening of the AMFA in April.
