Something just became official. Spazio Bianco gallery in Padua, Italy has acquired my work. I am still sitting with what that means. An Italian gallery. A space that has hosted some of the most serious contemporary artists in Europe. And now, a girl who spent a decade in corporate boardrooms before she trusted herself enough to pick up a brush full time. This does not happen without the decision to stop performing and start creating. I am documenting everything. The studio. The shipping. Padua. What it looks and feels like when a body of work finally lands somewhere it belongs. And I am looking for two or three brands who want to be part of that story, sponsors for the vlog who believe that the intersection of art, leadership and unapologetic ambition is exactly where their audience lives. If that is you, my DMs are open. Now, for this community specifically. You have been here watching this unfold in real time. The work, the pivots, the moments where I was not sure what came next. You saw it before anyone else did. And the women in here who have been doing the inner work alongside me, you already know what I am about to say. The acquisition did not make the work real. The decision to stop waiting for permission made the work real. That is not an art lesson. That is the whole thing. I will be sharing more inside here first before it goes anywhere else. Stay close. 🖤

Real talk for a second. Some of you are in this community building a creative life and identity from the ground up. Art is the work. The studio, the practice, the question of how to be seen as more than "hobbyist" - that's the daily terrain. Some of you are leading teams, running companies, sitting in boardrooms, and presence/leadership is the actual battlefield. Art might be where you go to remember who you are outside the title. Neither one is "further along." They're just different rooms. So, where are you right now? 1..🎨 Building my creative identity / practice :comment 🎨 2.👑 Leading, performing, and looking for presence beyond the title :comment 👑 3.🌓 Honestly... both, depending on the day : comment 🌓 Curious to see how this community actually splits. Drop your emoji below, and if you want, tell me one sentence on what "right now" looks like for you.
