Opening Feb 1: Chiaroscuro at Victoria Miro, London
Hello! Took a break from posting my work bc of a disappointing, unfair ai content censorship on Bluesky. Let’s see if they can handle me!

Bluesky’s ai just flagged my last painting as sexual content even though it is not. Getting away from instagram’s sexist and biased content violations is the main reason I’m in this platform. If this continues to happen I will not stay. #supportwomenartists

Enjoying experimenting with new palettes that differ from local color. Sad I had to leave the studio because of the snow storm :( #painting #colortheory #painter #art

Doechii is incredible - I’m so inspired by her preparedness to meet this big moment - her entrance to the mainstream. Major star power with authenticity. And repping Tampa!! #doechii

A tiny painting from yesterday. Working on moving fast and using big strokes for figure and landscape, treating them of equal importance #oilpainting #painting

Women like Chappell roam dressing in drag-inspired fashion is interesting because it parallels the tendency of regular women’s fashion to be modeled for the male gaze - women anticipating what the patriarchal society will like, and therefore creating a performative femininity. (1/2)

Thinking about the pillars of our society crashing down - how it’s terrifying, but on some level we’ve all desired the old order to crumble. Live through this. 🪄Sympathetic Magic, charcoal on paper - from 2022. #thetower #magic #drawing #charcoal #sympatheticmagic #artwork #art
