On Her Way (original)

48” x 60” | Acrylic on Canvas | $15,500

This original painting exemplifies Jerry Lynn’s ongoing exploration of legacy, knowledge, and spiritual inheritance within the Black experience. Depicted in profile, a young girl advances forward with quiet resolve, carrying a book titled Knowledge, a recurring motif symbolizing education, faith, and generational empowerment.

The figure is rendered in luminous whites against a richly layered, atmospheric ground of blues and charcoals, creating a subtle halo effect that elevates the subject beyond portraiture into allegory. The textured surface, visible drips, and expressive brushwork reinforce the tension between innocence and responsibility, stillness and progress.

At 48” x 60”, the scale commands presence while maintaining an intimate narrative, making this work well suited for private collections, curated interiors, and institutional spaces. As a one of one original, the painting stands as a timeless statement on purpose, resilience, and the passing of wisdom from one generation to the next.
