JaQuay Copeland is a portrait artist based in Atlanta, Georgia, known for her large-scale paintings celebrating trailblazers with vibrancy, dignity, and joy.

Working primarily in oil on oversized canvases, JaQuay creates with intention and scale. Her portraits are meant to take up space—boldly, unapologetically—and to reframe how Black identity is viewed and remembered. She paints from a place of hope and cultural reverence, inviting viewers to see Black excellence not as an exception but as truth.
