Rikiesha Metzger is a multifaceted international community artist–philosopher working with themes related to race, identity and beauty. Originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, she has travelled extensively, first as a military child and more recently as an artist interested in experiencing and collaborating with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Built upon a strong spiritual foundation, she demonstrates how art can be used as an outlet for self-expression. As a socially, international community engaged artist–philosopher, her professional/research interests revolve around the transformative power of art and its ability to create new experiences, rebirth and reignite the spirit of underserved communities. As a working mom, adjunct professor at the Maryland Institute College of Arts and Morgan State University, and art teacher at Hampden Christian School, Rikiesha believes her Higher Power helps her balance all aspects of her life. Currently, Rikiesha is a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts, pursuing a degree in philosophy, aesthetics and art theory.
