Defiance is going against expectations and doing what matters to you. This is Fanny Eaton, a woman of color who posed for the Pre-Raphaelites in Victorian England and was almost overlooked by art history. The link to my full blog post is in the comments. @preraphaelitesoc.bsky.social #scastio #art

The newest issue of the PRS Revue has arrived and is full of treasures. Two that stood out were the revue of Fanny Eaton’s Story, which I’m currently reading, and Gay Daly's essay about her journey while writing her 1989 book Pre-Raphaelites In Love, which I read all those years ago. #preraphaelites

This weekend, as part of my birthday celebrations, I attended the first major retrospective of iconic Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka at the de Young in San Francisco. Along with my love for the Pre-Raphaelites and the fin de siècle, I’ve also always loved Art Deco. #scastio #artdeco #delempicka

I've been working on this idea over the past few weeks between finishing new work. I was inspired by the theme of rebirth and motivated to push my work to a new plane of excellence. There's a lot of potential here, and I want to ensure I exploit all of it. @preraphaelitesoc.bsky.social #scastio #art
