She creates vibrant digital illustrations, bold graphic designs, and large-scale murals that celebrate identity and community, with a strong focus on Black culture and femininity. Her art is a reflection of both personal and collective experiences—uplifting narratives that honor beauty, strength, and representation.

Through her brand, Gerda Creates, she uses art to connect with people in meaningful ways. Her digital work resonates with online audiences, creating spaces where people can see themselves reflected, while her murals bring color and life to public spaces, turning walls into powerful statements of identity and belonging.

Inspired by her own experiences—including the challenges of self-acceptance and past bullying—she uses her art to empower others to embrace their individuality and see themselves as works of art. Whether through digital pieces shared across the world or murals transforming local communities, her mission is to make art that speaks, inspires, and represents.
