Artistic style and themes
Humphrey has worked in many different art mediums, she is particularly respected for her work in lithography. Her techniques for layering colors are uncommon in lithography. She is attracted to the fluidness of lithography.

Her work is expressionist in terms of the bright colors and symbols she uses to create autobiographical scenes from her life, combined with fantasy. Using everyday objects in her work as iconography, Humphrey’s symbols allude to Black culture. Themes of religion, race, and gender are present within her work. Her humorous outlook on mundane experiences is influenced by Robert Colescott. Humphrey’s use of vivid colors and icons in her narrative works is meant to evoke memory and emotion from the viewer.
