My name is Chakara Adkins, currently known as Phoenix Swan. I’m a multidisciplinary artist who is inspired by the meshing of ancient civilizations, my own ancestry, symbolism, alchemy/magic, womanhood, motherhood, sisterhood and the living cycles that tie women to this planet. I’ve created an alternate world where women are the center focus to their stories through fashion, sculpture, paintings, drawings, decor, furniture, music, dance, poetry, photography, and film. Many of these arenas I am still exploring. My creations are an expression of eons and generations of women who could not express.
