“What is Visual Literature?” My favorite question I was asked this weekend 🧚🏾‍♀️

✨ Finished 8 paintings in 5 weeks
✨ Vended two days in a row
✨ Sold an original artwork
✨ Had so many lovely conversations! 

This past Friday and Saturday, I displayed and vended my art at the Tyler Art Market and Next Gen Festival. My second and third time vending and my first time doing it alone. I’m grateful to have the experience to share my body of work, converse about my style, talk about modernizing tanjore painting and the significance of dishti bommalu, so many folks taking my business cards, and seeing what people gravitate towards. It was exhilarating and vulnerable at the same time 🌞

These two days wouldn’t be possible without so many friends who let me borrow things, showed up, and sat with me. Thank you to @jankivelli, @brigidsquilla, and @ppddmp for the tent, table, and chairs. Shout out to Sriram, @redseamoeses, @siriously32, @rymitch37, and Joslyn who sat with me and helped me market my work. To the friends who stopped by and said hi and those who messaged/reached out to check in on how things are going and sharing their wishes. And most of all, to one of my oldest Philly friends Alex, who helped me transport, set up, and break down my things for tabling. I feel incredibly believed in and supported for the art I’ve been creating and investing the time in my practice 🫶🏾🥹

Thank you to @tyleralum, @tyler_artandarchitecture, @stumblemusic, @hilofiberbar, @shoprebelreid, @riseandritual for sharing space and opportunity for me to vend. Lastly, to the amazing artists I met over the past two days! 

I hope to do this more in the future and I will be updating my website to share what is available to purchase. Thank you to every single one of you! 

So for the curious, what is “Visual Literature”? “Sahiti” means literature, so I embody and create “visual literature”.

✨ Artist Spotlight: @mirandag.lopez of @hilofiberbar 

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the artists, stories, and creative practices that reflect the many ways culture, creativity, and community come together.

We popped into the studio with 2D textile artist Miranda Lopez to talk about heritage, storytelling, creating art that feels like home, and the importance of creating space for others to create, too.

Follow along as we continue spotlighting Hispanic artists and their stories throughout the month.
