Danielle Mckinney’s specialty is rest and relaxation. The American artist creates sumptuous paintings that depict Black women in moments of peaceful solitude, where her subjects are often draped in silk, velvet, or feathers, and surrounded by soft furnishings. They appear blissfully unaware of the viewer’s gaze—it seems as if they revel in the spaces Mckinney has created for them. - Interview ‘We Don’t Always Have to Be Sexual’: Danielle Mckinney on Her Potent Portraits of Feminine Solitude

My main goal with this newsletter is to inspire and encourage you to support Black artists. I'm passionate about this project and I'm doing it all on my own. Instead of having recurring subscriptions, if you could consider buying me a cup of coffee to show your support, that would be amazing! Thank you so much for all your help and support, it truly means the world to me.
