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.)

one of my favorite artists of all time!! most well known for the spiritual abstractions she painted in the first half of the 20th century. she was a member of the Transcendentalist Painting Group, whose goal was "to carry painting beyond the appearance of the physical world, through new concepts of space, color, light and design, to imaginative realms that are idealistic and spiritual." the work below is from 1926 (!!!) and is titled The Fountains.

American postwar artist into quiet, intimate scenes boasting masterful command of light, especially in her paintings of flowers/gardens/lawns. i also enjoy how she renders burning houses. she’s a little old lady now, nice moment in the lore.

I keep a notebook full of shorthand about my day. worth it because, after some time, you end up with notes like: “burps deep like an opera singer“ (9/21), “your feet are fattest in the morning” (7/11), “pool as a centerpiece“ (4/3), “walking 52 dogs at petsmart” (3/20), etc. and have to retrace your steps to figure out what they meant.
