In honor of the warmer weather and allergies trying to take me out (!!), here’s Catching Up. A painting I made last year. It’s 24”x36” and oil on canvas. Blue shoes with red bottoms…a metaphor…for…you know what. Also couldn’t remember the last time I painted pants 👠👖🦞

Coon Shoe Editorial (2026) Made this in January but sharing it now due to how liberalism is failing us all. Feel free to share your grievances of liberalism in the comments 🍌

Dogwalked (2025) Oil on Canvas 22”x28” Inspired to share this from the false spring from a few weeks ago and I guess…politics 🦞

My paintings, Deconstructive Criticism and Humid Ambivalence, are featured in @RossSuttonGallery ’s presentation on @artsy for #BlackOwnedGalleriesNOW in honor of #BlackHistoryMonth 2026, showing 86 works by 32 artists from all over the African Diaspora.

Land Tenders (2025). This one is about Black peoples relationship to American soil and how we stand in solidarity with other protectors of indigenous people and their lands. That’s what I’m thinking about this MLK Day

Books I read in 2025! 51!!! Lmk if you read any of these or want to know more about them. I made my list more aesthetically pleasing this year. If you know any books that are similar to my top 5 lmk!!!

Merry Christl❣️🍉❣️

We’re highlighting artists Christl Stringer, Daniel Morowitz, Kerrigan Clark and Lynda Keeler from “Perfectly Fair”, the last iteration of our summer group experiment, which explored a fairness-led art fair where every exhibitor was selected at random, literally drawn from a hat. No gatekeeping, no hierarchies, just great work, chosen by chance. Brainstorming underway for summer 2026. Slide 1: Design by Elodie Goldberg Jacquemain & Saul Appelbaum - @elogoldberg & @thepioneers.la Slide 2 & 3: Christl Stringer - @christlstringer Slide 4: Daniel Morowitz - @dm61889 Slide 5: Kerrigan Clark - @kerriganclark Slide 6: Lynda Keeler - @lyndalax Slide 7, 8 & 9: Photography by Zak Lepre - @zaklepre.jpg

Highlighting the work of @christlstringer , a writer and filmmaker. Her art and writing explore the interiority of Black millennial womanhood and childhood experiences.  In Stringer’s words: “My figurative surrealist paintings investigate the themes surrounding the deteriorating effects of capitalism on the human psyche. While using domestic and nostalgic items as motifs, I invite the viewer to understand the constant spite, anger and reluctant humor I find in my experience of being a Black woman and former child.”  Stringer’s work has been shown widely, including shows at SPRING/BREAK (NY and LA)), Visionary Projects NYC and the AnkhLave Arts Alliance’s international artist exchange in Kenya, among others. Her films and scripts have been accepted into the NFFTY Film Festival, Thuh Film Festival, the New Haven International Film Festival and more. She is a graduate of Montclair State University’s theater studies program. *** [1] You’re So Well Spoken (2024). Oil on Canvas. 30”x40” Credit: Christl Stringer [2] Deconstructive Criticism (2023).

Sold Her Spine to the Highest Bidder: The Unaccountability Book Tour (Too Little Too Late) Oil on Canvas 48”x24”x1.5” I know news moves fast these days but I’m still thinking about this clip from a few weeks ago…How dare she pretend to care now that she knows what it cost her… Lil miss shoulda woulda coulda On a brighter note, I discovered the #readpalestineweek challenge through @bibliophilistine ’s story and I’ve already read 3 texts. At the link in my bio, you can download all sorts of texts for free to read about Palestine this week. There is non fiction, fiction, poetry, a cookbook, and a play!! So many options to educate yourself and show solidarity.

My works “Appalachian Elegy” and “Lynx” are on view at @anonymoussocietygallery in Redding, CT in a group show curated by gallery owner, @nicole_bricker ! The fabric in these pieces is from @fab_scrap . The fake hair is from a beauty store. I’m excited how these turned out. The performance of hair + topography and how Black people are tied to land. Appalachian Elegy is based on the book of poems bell hooks wrote about growing up in Kentucky. On view until 11/28 💚
