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.
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.
It’s simple how much I have no rules with painting. I am often confronted about this by fans. I can’t say if it’s mostly positive or negative interactions. I’ve been at this for over 35 years now so my painting narrative changes and moves around. The only rule that stands as of late is red, blue and yellow paint. They speak through me. Art is my heart and as my heart grows so do it.
This month I’m going to focus on celebrating all the Black Sex Workers. They are the most focused on and least celebrated. They are often the fashion and trend makers but least created and often the most in dangered. This needs to change.
Art is often how we learn about life beyond our selves.
I really love this painting. What do you think?
