Art Intimacy at BKLYN Commons hosted by Siren_Bartendar🏆🧜🏽‍♀️♒️ 💫

What an amazing time sharing space with talented creatives. Painting, sculpture, spoken word, live music, an artist panel, food, drinks, and of course CAKE.

Thank you to everyone that supported, purchased, shared & received. I do this for you. Stay tuned for the next event!

In art class, still life was one of my favorite subjects. This is an ode to still life, in cake. The deep, moody green is the backdrop for the vibrancy of the jewel toned fruits.
The kiwi is especially essential because although I can't eat them, they're beauty is undeniable.

You don't need to experience something to find beauty in it 💫

Contemporary, modern art. My representation in cake. The ornate piping. The bright flowers in varying heights. All covered in shiny, reflective metal.
And can we talk about the oval shape? 💫

"Art is intimate. Creating something from yourself, putting it into the world, and allowing other people to experience it is an act of vulnerability.

This event is a celebration of that vulnerability - and of the community that makes space for it.

Join us for an immersive afternoon of visual art, photography, live performance, an artist panel, face art, music, food, cocktails, vendors, and creative connection.

Come discover new artists. Meet other creatives. Support local talent. Stay awhile."
