Woman Painters

Art is about more than identity, can allow us to transcend identity, but having been raised in the art world of the 90s, when painting was dying and women weren’t given the wall space they deserved, it’s a joy to watch femme painters rise to the top of the pile creatively and financially. I am lucky enough to cherish works by Jenna Gribbon, Jocelyn Hobbie, Kyle Staver, Ellen Birkinblit and my dear friend Issy Wood. I am currently obsessed with Larissa De Jesus Negron, Petra Cortright, Lucy Bull, Robin F. Williams, Somaya Critchlow, Gina Beavers and Cynthia Talmadge. It’s a lifetime dream to have a massive Lisa Yuskavage to wake up to (though I do have a print she gave me for my 26th birthday when I had a Soul Cycle party and everyone was mad except Lisa, who kicked all our millenial asses on the bike.)

very difficult to choose

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.

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

MAY DAY

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳 unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!! if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹

electronics in fun colors

a million times cooler than the lackluster “sleek” tech color palette used today
