I understand that it's been quite some time. I haven't blogged about anything since my trip to Ohio last year for the art festival. I had an amazing time there. You can read all about that in my previous post. I hope to go again sometime soon. Anyways... back to more current events...
HOW HAVE YOU ALL BEEN? That was of course directed towards the few readers and followers that happen to stop by from time to time. I've missed being able to blog on a regular basis. I forgot how much fun and slightly therapeutic this could be.
Well let's get back on track... Since the last time we've interacted, I've showcased at numerous places locally here. Also, I want to add a new milestone that I can check off of my accomplishment list. I finally got a chance to showcase at The Phelps Mansion as well as the Connelly Gallery. THAT'S RIGHT!!! Your girl made it on Artist Row!!!!
My style of artwork has slightly changed, but that comes with experience and experimentation. I've finally fallen into a comfortable and recognizable place with my style. I'm still well into my "Fantasy Feminism" styling of work. However; I've somehow managed to incorporate afrocentricity into my work. So now, I'm known as "the girl who paints the Afro ladies" lol. It's cool, I don't mind. I actually love that. Especially considering that I haven't come across any other artist locally who does black art. I wish there was a larger black art community here.
You know what they say... "If you build it, they will come." So needless to say, I'm trying to get an artist guild started here in my area. The BCBAS (Broome County Black Arts Society). I'm doing what I can as far as networking and mingling with the community.. rubbing elbows with the "who's who" of the binghamton art scenes. Just stay tuned... If you're local, you'll be seeing and hearing a lot more of me. National? It'll seem like I sprouted out of nowhere. International? OH BOY!!!! I'm about to take this world by storm.
Until next time my beautiful readers, peace and love.
Keep Creating,
Karii J.
