Setting the scene hello hello

Hello world! This is my first post on here so let me introduce myself and set the scene for that art that is to come.

I am a full time mamma to my 4 year old Murodch who is a Waldorf kiddo, and Marcille who is 3 months old. My partner Blake is a jazz musician and private guitar teacher. Before maternity leave I was tattooing as my main thing, and spent this past summer traveling with the fam to vend hand pokes at various music festivals! These days I’m dipping into all kinds of 3D projects including felting and puppet making. But I have big dreams of large scale sculpture projects to come.

As a kid I was called a savant with art and used to be very meticulous and realistic. These days we’re loosey goosey and asymmetrical, make-it-up-as-we-go type things that I want to make to play with.

So yeah there you have it. My art is inspired by whatever and I’m thankful for my family, we’re doing our best and making it work for ourselves. 😋

... Read moreIn the world of contemporary art, many artists harness their personal experiences and journeys to shape their work. Balancing creativity with family life can be challenging but immensely rewarding. As an artist and a parent, embracing the chaos that comes with both roles allows for uniquely expressive art. Whether it's through intricate sculptures or playful puppet making, exploring different mediums illuminates the diverse nature of artistic expression. Artists often find that their biggest inspirations come from daily life, interactions with loved ones, and the environments they navigate. This connection between personal experience and creativity not only enhances their artwork but also resonates with audiences who share similar life stories. As a community, we can uplift each other's artistic pursuits, embracing our passions while respecting the balance with family commitments. Let’s encourage more dialogues on integrating art with parenting, highlighting examples from various creators who have successfully managed these dual identities. Through forums and shared experiences, we can cultivate a supportive network for artist parents, sharing tips, challenges, and triumphs while celebrating our creative endeavors together.

HELLO 2025! #SettingGoals
One of the biggest lessons I learned in 2024 was to always give thanks, so I customized this activity to suite that perspective. God has done so much for me and I have no doubt he has a lot more in store — even without me asking. This was a really fulfilling exercise to do 🤍🖤🤍 #thankful #godisgo

A dark digital display, possibly a car dashboard, shows orange pixelated text that reads: 'Too lazy to explain myself, Just judge me.' Above the text are Bluetooth and hazard light icons. The Lemon8 logo and '@elgambito' are visible in the bottom left, with 'Omar H' faintly in the bottom right.
