Took LADYLIKE for a walk and was pleasantly surprised by the interactions along the way.
The internal world is made external atop the figure of a woman. Angsty time settling into my first year in LUNDUN lol - can u tell ¿
Completed SEP 2024
BETWEEN THE CRACKS
Commission = complete. The brief was beachy which challenged me as I usually paint from inner world to outer but I loved using the client’s happy place (Wylie’s baths) to inform the piece.
Thank you @vezbecker for your early AF belief ❤️🔥
@gellpana wanted an artwork she could easily move around the world with so I kept this one unstretched. As I painted I realised it was a flag. Her very own BADDIE flag cause she’s a baddie and this is the flag I would design to represent her baddie nation.
I feel most expressed when my work can have an edgier element to it and Gell encouraged me to do whatever I want so this piece has a lil wicked femininity to it 💥🦋
THE BADDIE FLAG for the biggest baddie of them all @gellpana thank you for the commission 💅🏽 ultra feminine a lil wicked baddie baddie baddie

2 years to build a life in a new city. Year 3 onwards = living it. A lot of our suffering stems from rushing. Good things take time, better things take longer.
In my journey presence took me where i needed to go within myself and through the world.
I meet a lot of people just on the streets. I’ve always said London comprises of storylines smashing into each other. Walk without headphones or texting. Stay present and aware when you’re moving about and you’ll lock in with others who are doing the same. You’ll share more smiles and notice more details. All of which will lead you to your tribe.
Shout out to my tribe @broadwaymovement you guys changed mi life here

Flesh and breath is all you got. We have lots of beautiful intentions for taking care of ourselves but often lifestyle comes first and practices second. We squeeze in a meditation or breath when it’s convenient. My dad used to say this quote “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”.
Senses seek pleasure, soul says wait. The breath is a bridge between body and mind. Calming. When you feel taken by the senses/doubts/desires find your breath with conviction. Let the body serve the soul. Desire under direction. Alignment happens here.

Grateful for 2 years of cheap rent that allowed me more freedom of time to discover my art practice. I chose less for my material world and gained so much through this passage.
No living room or outdoor space compressed my creativity within my bedroom. Witnessed all kinds of night creatures using the car park beneath my window as a haven to relieve themselves through various orifices or do drugs, and the teachers would use it to smoke during recess and lunch trading stories. They reminded me of when I was a teaching assistant for neurodivergent kids when I was first finding my way in London. The hardest job I’ve ever had. The lowest I’ve ever been paid.
I was spat at, sworn at, groped, hit, and a little broken in spirit by kids with needs too great for the specialised schools so they’re in mainstream schools with even less resources?! Those kids taught me a lot. They had real struggle. Anything I was going through was dwarfed by their experience and their family’s. So what I don’t have a living room?!
My takeaways: Less is more. The less I have the more grateful I become. Delayed gratification has and will continue to serve me well.
Was time to close that chapter I knew the streets and cafes too well. my body craves new and unknown more than creature comforts now 🫡
The Ripple Effect | Sunday 3 May, 5-9pm
w/ @cloud.r.e.m & @poppydoorbs & live dj set @scoobydoobner The Ripple Effect is a charitable event created to bring together movement, meditation and expression led activities in order to collectively cultivate peace and positive energy for the world.
Hosted by Claude Remedios and Poppy Doorbar (both movement teachers at Om Being) they have put together this special this evening having felt the impulse to balance the negative ripples we have felt recently from certain events around the world. This is a chance to remember the power we have to create positive ripples that can felt far and wide. Through coming together like this we can support others in need with our energy and positive intentions.
All proceeds will go towards three nominated charities working to help displaced families across various countries in the Middle East. Book via the link in the bio. ♥B
