First of all, I love how you bring us into your grieving journey. I really do. Grief is something that needs to be normalized as part of life, part of everyone’s life. But more than that, I love seeing that art always helps you to move through it, to move with it, and that despite the grief, you see beauty, color, and light. Isn’t that what life and art and being an artist is all about?

The paintings are amazing! And I am in love with the colors. I have to look up her work!

And then, your photographs!!

They are so beautiful, Stella! I can’t believe how similar the color is to Amy Sherald’s paintings, but more than that, I think these are treasures. Yes, they document something difficult and sad and yet they are so beautiful and filled with color and light, just like life itself, once again.

Truly stunning compositions.

Thank you, Stella, for bringing light into my life this morning!

I was fortunate to stumble across a couple of Amy Sherald’s portraits last summer in, of all places, Plymouth, Devon. They were my favourite paintings in the exhibition. Your quiet portraits are also very good.
