Sabrina Tillman
At HEARTS Junion ’25: Revolutionary Descent on June 28, 2025, guests were welcomed into the Honoring Descendants exhibit in the Center Hall of Cedar Grove, featuring the portrait work of Sabrina Tillman in partnership with Nine-Eighteen-Nine Gallery. Her paintings honored lineage, memory, and identity through powerful visual storytelling, centering the lived experiences of descendants and the histories they carry. Tillman’s portraits served as intimate reflections of heritage and resilience, inviting viewers to connect deeply with the individuals represented. Through her ability to capture emotion and ancestral presence on canvas, Tillman’s work beautifully reflected HEARTS’ commitment to preserving and amplifying cultural narratives
