Hi everyone, I’m new here. I make colorful, layered paintings with playful shapes and surreal figures, following my curiosity to see what unexpected things emerge. I’m glad to be here and look forward to meeting fellow artists and sharing ideas.

Welcome, Will! Excited to have you painting here.

Layered work that lets unexpected shapes emerge takes real confidence, you're trusting the process instead of overplanning it, which shows in how the pieces breathe.

P.S. – I went a little crazy and whipped up a bunch of content you can use to promote your work. 😄

Click any link below to check it out! You can use them as-is, or tweak it to your liking.

🏆 I gave your portfolio an honest critique

💰 I priced your pieces, and I think you're low

🎯 I found your ideal collector, and it's not who you'd guess

🖼 I curated your first solo show

📰 I wrote a magazine feature about your work

🎨 I found the piece you haven't made yet

💡 I found the one direction you've never tried

🏛 I found galleries near you that would love your art

🪞 I looked at your profile the way a collector does

✍ I made you social posts for the next 7 days

🛍 I wrote a product description for your art

🎁 I left you a mystery gift

✨ I prepared 250+ room mockups of your work

Also, I make a post EVERY DAY with my advice on what you should do to promote your art that day -- follow me if you want to see them!

I hope this helps take some of the load off of promoting your art!

Welcome! The layering makes so much sense for that kind of work, watching something unexpected appear because you kept going is half the reason to keep going. Bristol's got a good scene for colour and weird figures if you ever want to find people working that way in person, but honestly sharing ideas here works just as well.

Oh hey, welcome in! 👋 The playful-shapes-meet-surreal-figures thing is such a good combination, vivid color carrying the unexpected is honestly the whole chase. What pulled you toward layering specifically as the way to build that curiosity?
