My Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams
LIMITED-EDITION JUNETEENTH POSTER ART COLLECTION
The Story Behind the Collection
Once More, With Revelry is rooted in Southern rhythm and cultural tradition. With My Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams, we honor Juneteenth, June 19th, and the joy, history, and freedom it represents. This collection continues our commitment to centering Black life, memory, and celebration as both legacy and living art.
My Ancestors’ Wildest Dreams honors Black memory, freedom, and joy through powerful visual storytelling. It reflects Juneteenth as both history and a living celebration where liberation is continuously remembered and expressed. Across the work, American symbolism is reclaimed through color and form to center Black life as legacy, presence, and imagination. The collection moves through expression, identity, remembrance, and collective freedom, holding jubilee (a celebration of freedom and release after hardship) as an ongoing experience rather than a single moment.
JUBILEE COLLECTION
On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared enslaved people in Confederate states legally free, but in Texas that news was delayed for two and a half years. Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when freedom finally arrived there, standing as a defining part of American history and the unfinished story of liberation.
But what it could not stop was the blooming.
Even without the announcement, Black people in Texas lived, loved, and endured with a dignity no law could grant or take away. Juneteenth reflects that truth as both history and American memory, revealing freedom as something delayed, but not denied.

Juneteenth is not only the story of freedom arriving. It is the story of what came next.
In the years that followed emancipation, Black Americans built lives on their own terms. They established families, founded schools and churches, purchased land, created businesses, and formed communities rooted in self-determination and possibility. Freedom became more than a legal status. It became an act of authorship.
First Name Free, Last Name Dom reflects that spirit of self-definition. Standing together with unwavering confidence, the figures embody ownership of identity, future, and belonging. Their presence is both elegant and assured, a reminder that freedom is not simply the absence of bondage, but the power to name yourself, define yourself, and imagine what comes next.

Juneteenth commemorates the moment freedom was publicly recognized in Texas, transforming a long-awaited promise into a shared celebration. Families gathered, communities reunited, and Jubilee Day emerged as a tradition honoring freedom, fellowship, and hope.
In The Color of Freedom, two figures rest together in a field of sunflowers and red poppies, bathed in warm golden light. Surrounded by abundance and ease, they embody the feeling of exhaling after generations of endurance. The work reflects on freedom as something to be lived, cherished, and carried forward.

Forever Jubilee is named for what Juneteenth becomes when it is carried through time, not as a single arrival, but as something continually protected, remembered, and returned to. Jubilee here is not fixed in 1865, but sustained through generations who refused to let it disappear.
The purple irises are held as an offering, symbolizing what has been preserved and passed forward through care, migration, and memory. The work reflects Juneteenth as an inheritance that expands beyond celebration into responsibility, where remembrance itself becomes an act of preservation.
The two figures stand together, beautifully dressed, facing forward with grounded presence and shared intention. They embody continuity, where freedom is not revisited as a historical moment, but lived as something still being carried.
They kept it. Now it is yours.
