It's exciting to see so many photographers and artists migrating to Bluesky. Connecting with each other is the first hurdle — If you make pictures, please reply to this post or share it so more art folks see it. I hope we can create a virtuous circle and make it easier to find each other. Cheers!

Marigold Santos was born in the Philippines & immigrated to Canada in 1988. Her inter-disciplinary art examines diasporic lived experiences & storytelling within the otherworldly. Self-hood, hybridity, fragmentation & relationships to heritage are explored.

Aubrey Levinthal paints everyday scenes from memory that play with scale & are imbued with empathy. The paintings dance between abstraction & figuration. The Philadelphia artist allows us into her world where deeper complexities are revealed through careful looking.
