Thank you for @kraslartcenter for having me on Live at Lunch today! See the full video at https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=886138371854157&id=86687519031&_rdr (🔗 link in bio!). Live at Lunch is a great bite sized series with artists (perfect to watch during a lunch/ snack break)--I talk about why I started my portrait series, art as therapy, and more! 💛 💛 💛 . . . . . #artistsoninstagram #artistinterview #seattleartist #takeabreak #arttherapy #selfcare https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3-S9An4ua/?igshid=14k39bzcqe94o

Alright, this is late (better late than never), but here's my #toonme. It's been awhile since I've painted digitally -- it use to be all I did (I really loved making realistic vector mesh art in Illustrator) so it was nice to switch it up! . . . . . . . #toonmechallenge #toonmechallenge2020 #artchallenge #blackwomenartists #blackgirlswhopaint — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3br0gBI

This decade was definitely one of big moves, switched lanes, more honesty, the act of continuously overcoming fears, and cha-cha-cha-changes. In the words of Kelly (Insecure): "You know what that is? Growth". Here's to more changes, growth, and chasing of dreams in 2020 🎉 . . . . . #seattleartist #supportlocalartists #bigyearbigchanges #happynewyear #2020 #newyear #blackartists #celebrations #NYE — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/35cqGDs

If you're local stop by the @sodoflea this Saturday! I'm looking forward to hanging out outside for a bit (#studiolifeproblems), meeting new peeps, and getting a jump start on my holiday shopping. Or a late start? I dunno 😅 I'll have my full set of art stickers and some prints available, plus some small originals on hand. — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2K11zvo

Excited to get the chance to use some of the paper I picked up when I was in Poulsbo, WA a few months ago. The tropical green and the yellow is a bomb combo. 💛💛💛 . . . . . . . #wip #wipart #portrait #gouache #gouachepainting #artwork #gouacheportrait #mixedmedia #collage #dscolor #artlovers #art #artist #artoftheday #blkcreatives #blackartexperience #supportblackart #blackgirlswhopaint #blackwomenartists #blackartists #supportblackartist #blackartcurators #designlife #artistsoninstagram #tmqart — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2Pv83rE

Building more layers for the base of portrait #8. Each portrait my process changes a little bit, always experimenting. With this one I wanted to work on adding fleshtones on top of a more unconventional wash (the purple in the last post). Detail shot of the next layer :) . . . . . #wip #wipart #portrait #gouache #gouachepainting #artwork #gouacheportrait #emergingartist #artlovers #art #artist #artoftheday #blkcreatives #blackartexperience #supportblackart #blackgirlswhopaint #dopeart #dopeblackart #afroartdaily #emergingonyx #blackwomenartists #blackartists #supportblackartist #blackartcurators #designlife #artistsoninstagram #tmqart — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/32b0fN0
