Heartbreaking to see so many people ignorant of the value of diversity. How anyone is against equity and inclusion is beyond me.
What a gift to see my partner Jay James perform at Chestnut last night! ❤️
It was worth coming all the way to NYC just to see this Sylvia Sleigh show at Ortuzar!
Breaking it down in Philly!
Terrific trippy WV landscapes by Randy Williams at the Coop
That’s one of my fave shut off my brain shows but it’s always so sad!
🙏
Thanks!
Oops, on fabric, not canvas. Is there really no edit function? Lol.
Violet Coral, Glade Run, 2025. 14” x 14” natural dye on canvas. This mushroom was so surprising in color and form! Love that logwood, lac, and cochineal can capture all the nuances of blueish and pinkish purples.
Red test and Kimba ❤️Cochineal, E Brazilwood, madder, lac, logwood, black walnut
Oooooo!!
Chicken of the Woods, Valley Falls. 14” x 14” Natural dye on fabric. I ate this one… it was delicious!
Nice! Lovely colors. Is it just the fabric that gives it structure?
Love the colors, abstraction, and transparency!
We got an “Office of Compliance” at WVU!

Surprising and intriguing paintings on jute burlap by Jennifer J. Lee at Klaus von Nichtssagend
Met up with Roxanne Jackson at her killer under the sea show at Anton Kern Window space 🐬
Mesmerizing graphite drenched cut paper 🖤 Michael Lee at The Painting Center
It’s absolutely bananas to not talk about identity… they also cut some tenured art faculty last year. Def felt targeted in this red state!
Nothing specific directed at the art school at WVU, but they eliminated the entire DEI program for the university. Last year they cut all foreign languages. It’s bonkers.
Mind blowing Leon Polk Smith at Brooklyn Museum 💥
❤️ Barkley Hendricks at Jack Shainmen. Space is the Place!
I’ve taught at West Virginia University for the past two years. It’s the biggest school in the state with 24k students. They just eliminated their DEI programs… because you know, only white cis hetero men deserve to feel safe and valued in upper education.
lol, I was just getting ready for bed excited about coffee in the morning!
