About the Painting

We were music majors and I met her in a piano practice room. When I heard her sing, I told her that one day, she will be famous. I told her that she has star qualities. She laughed it off and I asked why. She shared her experience as a teenager trying out for American idol. She made it to the auditions round, and the camera followed her from the waiting room and down the stairs toward the stage. That is where she tripped over a step and rolled down, and because people were laughing, she ran away and never auditioned. On the news, the highlight of the auditions report was ‘fat girl rolls down’ the stairs heading to her audition. In COVID, Nia premiered in Carnegie hall, and I painted her image in this “I Told You So” canvas.
