Oil Pastel, Posca on A6 Black paper!
Been working on these recently, and have quite a few now...I'm researching Black Visual Grammar, expressed in folk and Neo-expressionist style! Here you see it in my exaggerated features & bold pastel strokes!
Absolutely stunning @LucyRendle modelling the jeans I turned into a jacket, her smile is gorgeous. Lucy is also an incredible artist showcasing her work during open studios art week in Worcestershire :) catch her work at Bar Limon!
Alison is my dear friend who has all the street cred! She came to visit me today during Worcestershire open studios. I was so excited to see her wear this jacket today because it suited her so much <3 SOLD to the magnificent Alison :)
GM fam!
Stay Humble! It's your super power!
This denim jacket was fun to create! Elephants are one of my fave animals🐘 they represent strength, power, family (Herd) humility and Grace!
.
Jacket will soon be available for purchase 🫶🏾
Leaning into Neo-Expressionism a little more! This piece is about the matriarchal lineage, passing down of inheritance some good, some toxic and deciding how we move ahead for the next generation... It's a giant of a mural and I don't remember it's size lol
Venue 88 is OPEN!!! Worcester Open studios has begun, artists all over the region will be opening their doors to art collectors, and art lovers... I am also the recipient of the Deb Catsby Award, without this, I wouldn't have been able to take part! fun week ahead <3
"Boykisha"
Boykisha is a contemporary abstract urban work that challenges the stereotypes attached to Black names. The piece emerges from the artist’s own experience, she has faced prejudice and dismissal based on a name that some considered “ghetto.”

Tonight we discussed the shared experience of the diaspora! And how our works seem to have a similar heartbeat! I can't wait for these up and coming exhibitions to share what is on our hearts 🔥🎨

The below image of the poster on the wall is called "Street Convention" and it's about the street being a platform for the authentic voice! Speaking from the heart to seek truth...also listening with our hearts to understand the truth and cultivate wisdom :)
Nah I'll be back, when I get a new device 😂 sorry guys!! But go listen to the last space recording with @GenOps he had nothing but straight 🔥🔥🔥 to share with us 🥰
