Always making
I made this painting a while back because a Black woman I know told me she loved my work but didn’t see her hair representation in it. I was moved and so I started working on bing more diverse in paintings. My goal has always been to elevate Black women of all sizes and hair and disabilities in art.
Been working on finding inner peace these weeks. I keep saying “ do you need this anger. No, then let it go.” It has worked really well on keeping me focused.
Naturally Producer Mochi was a huge help.
I’m not expecting to never have frustrations in my 40’s, I just don’t want to be controlled by them any more. Green tea, coffee, flowers, ink and paint are my addictions of choice.
Have a nice Sunday. Also, how goes it on your end?
I think I have this moment that I’ve been waiting for to really make an impact since the pandemic started. I’m starting to see it faintly. I was thinking it was with Tiktok but then I started scrolling and it’s nothing there.
No jabs at a place like that but they don’t want great art as much as they want silly videos. I’m silly just not in that way. Then there is Youtube and IG, they don’t really want a lot of great artist either. They have more of us there but they also just want to be entertained in a mindless way. I used to wish I could tap into that but I feel like I might loss myself in the chase. So I’m here, rambling but also finding a real truth in myself.
I feel like I have a real fan base and maybe I need to love them back fully. I have known so many of you for so long. I’ve even talked to you in your last few days alive. It’s heartbreaking but beautiful that you share so much with me. I want to give you the gifts of my work and connect better with you. So please feel free to contact me at painterfilespodcast@gmail.com.
Also feel free to join my mailing list for little art gifts.
Tchau,
Jaws
I feel like I could sleep for a year.
I am really working on this painting. It’s growing into my dreams. I visualize a full canvas, now to work backwards. If you like what you see join my Patreon to see more.
