Salut Lydia, welcome to the community!
Exploring emotion and human connection through figurative work takes guts. The fact that you're doing it across both painting and sculpture suggests you're after something that refuses to stay in one medium.
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 made you social posts for the next 7 days
🛍 I researched interior design trends that suit your work
📧 Here's a professional gallery outreach email you can use
💡 I came up with an idea for your next series!
🖋 Then I wrote you an artist statement
✨ I prepared 250+ beautiful room mock-ups to showcase your work
👥 And finally, I researched your ideal collector
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!

The emotions-and-human-connections line is exactly the ambition worth holding. Figurative work that actually lands on that air is rare. Stick around, Lydia, you'll fit in here.
Exploring human connection through figurative work takes patience. I photograph silhouettes against the night sky, different medium, but I recognize that same pull toward what links us to something larger. Glad you're here.
