i couldnt pick one because i cant look at anything ive made and not see the failures in either execution or symbolism BUT these all come from an intense place in my heart and i am proud of them! in particular the modern communion still life i still think is one of the best ideas i’ve ever had but my high school acrylic execution was weak… in comparison to the oil still life in the corner thats very pretty but very meaningless!

- Eugène Delacroix, Apollo Slaying the Serpent Python: I could stay in this gallery for hours and just stare at the ceiling if that was socially acceptable
- Michaelangelo, Sistine Chapel: You know her, you love her! Especially when it’s summer and you’re absolutely in need of fresh are and so you round the corner to see this diva!! la vita è bella
- Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus: I love the pastels in this so much and the way the hair flows and the shell and just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 I will laugh every time this is emulated in media!!!
- Kehinde Wiley, Philip the Fair: I saw this at a museum when I was a mess emotionally and it was so beautiful and vast and gorgeous that I teared up!
- Pierre Auguste Cot, The Storm: This is for the yearning and when I see it I’ll year again every time without fail
- Hans Holbein the Younger, The Ambassadors: I love these two freaks and the fun little sneaky third guy!! I learned about this in a history class that I ended up despising bc my brain doesn’t work to memorize dates are u kidding me!! I remember all the paintings and this one was always such a fixture for me
- Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith and Her Maidservant: it’s definitely the theater adult in me that lives and loves Baroque but with that in mind - the lighting in this is so powerful

for overall artists, i really enjoy the body of work by photographer renée cox. i love her takes on representation and her unapologetic nature. i wasn’t much of a photography girl before her, but i get it now. i also really enjoy the paintings of oda iselin sønderland and the mood she’s able to capture with them. and i can’t forget the works of aya takano! i love the world she’s crafted and the figures that come out of it. she reminds me that i’m a woman but also still a girl if that makes sense.
for favorite contemporary works of art in general, that’s even harder as i have so many! for now, i’ll choose kiki smith’s 1996 piece “constellation” (pictured here). but i could go on forever.

i think pushing thru my fears and trying to be more comfortable with my independence has helped me romanticize my life sm.
you get to go watch any movie, brunch by yourself with a book in hand, go on long walks alone, take pictures everywhere you go!
i also suggest reading more esp poetry, and writing down those phrases that stick out to you or resonate <3

you know those really old blankets passed on to you from your grandparents and their grandparents,
i can’t help but think about how many people in my own family, my ancestors have found comfort and warmth under the very same one i’m huddled up with right now
