That's a wrap! Today is the last day of the EMBERS HELD exhibition featuring the work of LeRease Clark @thepealebaltimore . From installation to stepping into their greatness. They are a force of creativity and skill. To my friend, sister, and my artist. Thank you for allowing me to be your curator for this show and discovering my voice in a space I never thought would be interested in. I'm grateful to have a front row to witness to watch you shine. Thanks to the village that supported the vision and encouraged us. Special shout out @shonni93 of @focused.on.creatives and one of LeRease's newest collectors and a contributor. Thanks to @thepealebaltimore for allowing space to create and share. What a journey and learning experience, and I can't wait for the next. Cheers!

I had an opportunity to shed light on the inspiration behind my self-portrait “I Surrender” with students from Morgan State University and I’m still in a state of pure amazement…
As a self taught artist, I honestly never imagined professors recommending my work to their students. 🥹
The support and encouragement I’m receiving has my heart overflowing with joy and gratitude and continues to reaffirm that I’m doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing. 🙏🏾✨
To those who speak life and show love to living artists…
who continue to support us in rooms we haven’t even entered…
Know that you are deeply appreciated. 🖤

Thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday for my artist talk!
It felt so good to share space and great conversation with you all. I left more curious about myself and I am excited to dive deeper into that and to hold space for what it brings forth.
@thebrowngirlsproductions you were amazing! Thank you so much for moderating and being the light you are.
Gratitude on high.
🖤🙏🏾✨

Our first COMPSD feature of the year is here.
Each month, we sit with one creative and tell their story with care.
We’re starting the year with Baltimore-based artist La’Rease Clark. She holds a special place in our hearts!!
A conversation on memory, becoming, vulnerability, and staying with the work.
Check out her show “Embers Held” today at @thepealebaltimore

This was a beautiful reminder that my work is not just an expression, a meditation or a vocation. It is an offering to the world.
It was never created to exist in isolation. It lives through bodies in the room, conversations held, silences shared and the willingness to sit with what rises.
Thank you to everyone who crossed the threshold into Embers Held for the opening reception. This was made possible with the love, encouragement, effort and guidance of some amazing people:
@thebrowngirlsproductions | Curator
@shonni93 | @focused.on.creatives@pepperslife.coz@and_ie_townsend
You are gems.
Thank you for helping me manifest this vision and supporting me as friends, fans of my work and fellow Peale family members.
Thank you @bynaomiwinston | @createdbytcre
for blessing me with a copy of BMORE Present!

Rest beautiful soul… you’ve done so much this year.
You’ve stumbled and skipped, grieved and glowed…searched blindly through your own darkness for the warmth of your heart and the steadiness of your power and found them.
You have done enough.
You are enough.
Rest.
🖤
