"Are politicians ultimately here to get themselves elected, or are they here to try to help their communities. Some may argue that you have to get elected first in order to help the community. Kat dared to ask, why not both?"

This piece, "The King In Black", is something of a self portrait in that it's a visual representation of living with Long Covid and its impact on me. It's a milestone in my progress to regain my creative and technical skills as an artist LC had damaged or wiped out.
The King In Black. 2025. Digital mixed medium. 

A human figure facing left wearing a long black robe standing against a textured wall that's shades of red and green from top to bottom. Their head resembles a burning ember and has a crown of flames and billowing smoke.

for #longcovidawarenessday i request mass realization that COVID impacts every tissue, every organ, hinders the brain, and overall, it attacks every part of your body. it is so fucking important to mask, to stop ignoring it/using past tense language…and to care enough to not infect others

get weirder 🫵
a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

“Group of Three Girls” by Amrita Sher-Gil (Hungarian Indian) - Oil on canvas / 1935 - National Gallery of Modern Art (New Delhi, India) #WomenInArt #WomensArt #art #artText #arte #AmritaSher-Gil #AmritaSherGil #SherGil #Sher-Gil #NGMA #IndianArt #NationalGalleryOfModernArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists
Painted in 1935, soon after Hungarian Indian artist Amrita Sher-Gil returned to India from her studies in Paris, France, this work is often described as a turning point in her career. She moved away from European academic finish toward a more distilled, modern language shaped by Indian subjects, compressed space, and broad zones of color. The painting is also known as “Three Girls” and has been discussed under related titles, including “The Three Women.” 

Three young women sit close together against a spare, warm background, their skin modeled in soft brown and clay tones. Each wears draped clothing in earthy reds, creams, and muted pinks, with dark black hair parted and smoothed back. The figure at left turns slightly inward, her face lowered and contemplative. The central girl sits upright with her expression still and distant. The figure at right leans subtly forward, her head inclined, her body wrapped in a deeper red-orange garment. None of the three meets our gaze. Instead, their downcast eyes and quiet poses create a shared mood of inwardness, gravity, and emotional restraint. Sher-Gil flattens the space so the women feel pressed near the picture plane, emphasizing their presence over setting or anecdote.

Rather than idealizing youth, Sher-Gil gives these women dignity, weight, and psychological depth. Their closeness does not read as cheerful intimacy. It feels like shared silence, perhaps even shared burden. That emotional seriousness is part of what made the painting so powerful in the history of modern Indian art. It won a gold medal from the Bombay Art Society and remains one of Sher-Gil’s defining images of South Asian women’s interior lives being depicted with empathy, modernist clarity, and unmistakable force.
