Recently discovered your artwork via IG and thrilled to see you write here! I love giving credence and authority to craft/folk art and hope to see more of it take up space in galleries and museums. Hope you get to experiment lots and play and expand in 2026!
I relate to so much of what you wrote and appreciate your levity and sense of humor around the challenges of ADHD! ❤️
The distinction between art and craft is an interesting one, and I love that you are blurring the lines between them! I believe that as artists in the AI age, it has become more and more important to tell stories with art and take people on a journey through our interests, not just present polished finished pieces. I find the process part to be so fascinating and yet I still find it hard to sit down and practice! So please keep doing the thing! I will try to do the same!
“Practice makes progress, not perfection” - hitting me right in the chest with that one. I love you and I love reading your writing (you’re really very good at it, even if you feel out of practice).
I love this. A good read and resonates with me, a fellow creative. Here's to a great art making year for you, and for me, in 2026.
We're doing the damn thing, Ann! <3 xo
