Who is that peeking over Mary Jane’s shoulder on BET’s “Being Mary Jane” – could it be “Selfie Joy”

This vibrant orange afro art as seen on BET’s Being Mary Jane is called Selfie Joy. A 24″x36″ fine art print on cold press rag paper is available on my Shopify

While I was walking to The Mattress Factory I stum While I was walking to The Mattress Factory I stumbled upon Randyland, a magical public art installation made with broken toys, lawn chairs and hand painted signage. I even met Randy and had a love LLC conversation about his rainbow sidewalk #hiddengem #pittsburghart #randyland #randylandpittsburgh

My world wind trip to Pittsburgh would not have be My world wind trip to Pittsburgh would not have been complete without a visit to the Andy Warhol Museum. Many of his best works are in other museum or personal collections I’ve had the privilege to see up close. I could have spent my entire time watching films and getting sucked into the archives perusing his daily time capsule filled with ephemera bits. I left the museum brimming with ideas #artistlife #inspiration #thankyou @thewarholmuseum
While I was in Pittsburgh I spent some time experi While I was in Pittsburgh I spent some time experiencing the installations at the @mattressfactory my favorites where the @jamesturell works, I didn’t want to leave Pleiades when my 15 mins were up, I also was captivated by @shohei_katayama_ ship hull in the basement, the @greer_lankton_archives_museum work was also a treat and of course I took the obligatory Yayoi Kusama IG shot. Holley I get to do a residency at this museum someday. I would love to develop #freeyourmind further in this space Pittsburgh really needs to address its discrimination problem. Outside the confines of the art communities I interacted with, It is not a welcoming city for women of color #isaidwhatisaid #artistlife #pittsburgh

This week join me at @pghkids to learn free-form w This week join me at @pghkids to learn free-form weaving, coiling, knotting techniques during a hands-on drop-in workshop with me. @misstheda has meticulously collected fibers donated by the community to create a bold wig inspired by Queen Charlotte of Bridgerton. The fibers are transformed by their collective memory, becoming a “social fabric” that weaves together contemporary issues and personal narratives, particularly the artist’s own experiences with people touching or making comments about her hair. During the workshop, Theda Sandiford will create a safe space for participants to share and consider stereotypes in their own lives as well as the lives of others. Join us Fri, Sept 22, from 10:30 am - 3:30 pm. #repost #socialpractice #socialpracticeart #conseptualart @bridgertonnetflix
