Ain Eccles is a Brooklyn based fine artist, art teacher and graduate of Parsons The New School of Design and Eugene Lang College The New School of Liberal arts, earning her BFA in Fine Arts and BA in Psychology.  She creates works by using a multitude of mediums including: Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Printmaking, and Mixed Media. Her current work concentrates on intertwining art and psychology as she examines how historical-cultural images, tropes, and archetypes are linked to modern experiences and morph through generations. 

Ain focuses on how Black women in contemporary American culture, reclaim or repurpose the image of their body through technology to negate or engage with stereotypical ideas about Black femininity (or the lack there of) and sexuality. How does cultural diasporic displacement within an American context, influence or become a part of the expression and embodiment of black femininity (both in terms of construction and personal expression).  

Ain spent her entire life moving to various cities and countries. Thus, influencing another aspect of Ain’s work— linking distinct elements of how Blackness is universally perceived, embodied, and subjected both consciously and unconsciously.
