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

Spoke to Julia Halperin for the Financial Times profile of Lisa Yuskavage on her massive influence of the next generation of painters 🥵❤️ #lisayuskavage #juliahalperin

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

“Synapse”, oil on canvas, 36”x 48” (91.44 cm x 121.92 cm), 2024.

Unfortunately, lead based whites are worth the hype

A small painting from yesterday #oilpainting #painting #shadowwork

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

Feeling very excited to have some drawings on view at Victoria Miro, London for Chiaroscuro - opening this Friday February 1! Image - Gathering Webs for Spider Silk, 2023 Charcoal on paper, 36 x 48 in (91.4 x 121.9 cm)

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

Last spring in the studio with “on the edge of the forest” #painting #landscape #figurepainting

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)

“I’m aging in dog years” - overheard on the metro north

Playing with new palettes

I want to move back to the city lol

Probably the cutest figure from my last group of paintings. I love her #oilpainting #painting #figurepainting

I feel extraordinarily grateful to be in such an amazing community of artists and art professionals. It’s a dream come true.

New piece that’s part of a group show, 00:00:01, at Public Gallery in London in their new space🩻🎀

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
