Shervone Neckles is a Grenadian-American, Brooklyn-raised interdisciplinary artist based in Queens, New York. She creates immersive experiences through textiles, prints, installations, sculptures, and public art. As the daughter of Grenadian immigrants, Neckles reinterprets Afro-Caribbean diasporic histories, mythologies, and personal narratives—evoking ancestral wisdom from objects and weaving researched stories into artworks that function as both archives and rituals.

Her multimedia installation—an examination of selfhood and memory—was featured in the 2019 Venice Biennale’s Grenada Pavilion. In 2021, she created a traveling public installation for the Lewis Latimer House Museum (Queens, NY) to commemorate the life and legacy of the African-American inventor. In 2022, her work was presented in the Bless This House solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art (Jacksonville, FL). In 2023, she debuted The Lunar Portal permanent public art installation at the University of Pittsburgh Mercy Pavilion Plaza (Pittsburgh, PA). In fall 2024, she unveiled The Land Between Open Water subway installation with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority at the Westchester Square station (Bronx, NY). She was recently awarded the 2025 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship along with grants from the Queens Arts Fund Program and Artists in Queens to support her upcoming solo exhibition, Steeping Memory: A Collective Offering, opening October 20, 2025, at CUNY York College Fine Art Gallery (Queens, NY).
