“For me, painting allows for a space of visual fantasy where you can do whatever you want. Photography lends itself to something that is more believable. We take it as it is. There’s an element of truth.” — Mickalene Thomas

It's exciting to see so many photographers and artists migrating to Bluesky. Connecting with each other is the first hurdle — If you make pictures, please reply to this post or share it so more art folks see it. I hope we can create a virtuous circle and make it easier to find each other. Cheers!
Marigold Santos was born in the Philippines & immigrated to Canada in 1988. Her inter-disciplinary art examines diasporic lived experiences & storytelling within the otherworldly. Self-hood, hybridity, fragmentation & relationships to heritage are explored.

Aubrey Levinthal paints everyday scenes from memory that play with scale & are imbued with empathy. The paintings dance between abstraction & figuration. The Philadelphia artist allows us into her world where deeper complexities are revealed through careful looking.
