Swooping geometric patterns fill the wall of a lower level studio in DC. Light filters through tattoo-patterned translucent papers hung on the windows to block out prying eyes, swaths of colorful fabric and floral garlands hang from one corner, and pennant banners drape from the ceiling. Emon sits at a paint covered work table cutting strips of red fabric and aligning them with a ruler along a paint stick she cut with a table saw. “When I started painting, I knew I wanted to paint large and I wanted to paint fast. So I created these handmade brushes because I didn’t have money to go out and buy all these big brushes.” She tears a strip of tape and adheres the fabric to the stick before flipping it over; curling the fabric up the other side. “It’s become essential for the practice because I know if I use this tool it’s literally coming out from me, from my idea and what I create.”

Light pours in the window onto the canvas as Julie lays down the underpainting for a new work. Her home studio a refuge from the bustling New York City outside her building.

This shoot was a dream. My dear friend, @samanthasturm and I teamed up to create a 50’s inspired shoot. We shot at a couple locations including @empire_diner and the floor of a vacant apartment in my building (I did get in trouble with management over that one).
