A woman surrounded by dogs/ Becomes a wolf/ You look for softness/ And find bared teeth.

Hello!

Hello everyone! My name is Siobhan, I’m a recent psychology graduate, and a self-taught artist. Art has been a hobby and an outlet for me for many years, but recently I started to think of it as something more. Creating art has allowed me to find a like-minded community, a wonderful support system, and continues to be a great source of joy and relaxation. More than that, in recent months, I’ve started to see creating art as a way of creating the representation that I have been craving. As a child, I didn’t see my culture or heritage celebrated in mainstream media or, as I grew up, on social media. What happens when there is a dearth of representation in popular culture? You create it yourself! As such, I focus on creating dest-inspired pieces informed by and as a celebration of where I come from. I have also begun to sell prints of my work and to offer commissions, so if anything catches your eye, do get in touch!

"We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste!"

“And just on one personal note, may I just say that while I am here with my husband as a member of The Royal Family, I want you to know that for me I am here with you as a mother, as a wife, as a woman, as a woman of colour and as your sister. I am here with you and I am here FOR you and I thank you so much for showing my husband and I the spirit of Ubuntu and I look forward to our time over the next few days together.” 👏❤️

I felt incredibly inspired by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex today. Powerful and beautiful speeches

Today JKX Comics honors the work of Aomawa Shields, an astrophysicist whose work revolves around the climate and potential habitability of extrasolar planets (planetary bodies that orbit stars). Dr. Shields utilizes computational-based modeling along with data acquired from space missions to study the surface and atmospheric conditions of extrasolar planets. Her research helps identify potentially habitable planets outside of our solar system. Her work is highly recognized receiving many awards including the NSF CAREER Award, Clare Booth Luce Professorship and a TED fellowship. Dr. Shields encourages the next generation of scientists by founding the Rising Stargirls program. JKX thanks Dr. Shields for her amazing work! #WHM2020 #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInSTEM #wocinstem #womenofcolour #womenofcolorscholars #blackandstem #wocintech #wocinspace https://www.instagram.com/p/B97Jpktp5Iy/?igshid=12gqzq9akk737

Sri Lanka Series!

Since I began creating and posting my art on social media, I have come across so many incredible desi artists. I have loved the positive strides taken to increase representation and inclusivity in art and social media. Being from Sri Lanka, I wanted to create a series of paintings to explore and celebrate my country. In particular, the idea of this series is to focus on the vibrant, multicultural nature of this community, and its deep and proud history and tradition.

This piece is of the Perahera Elephant.

The Kandy Perahera is a Buddhist festival celebrated in July and August in Kandy, Sri Lanka. The festival is in honour of the Sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha, which is house in the Sri Dalada Maligawa (Temple) in Kandy. The festival consists of traditional dancers, jugglers, musicians, fire-breathers, and most memorably a procession of elephants decked out in elaborate costumes. Elephants have always features in the Perahera as they are regarded as symbols of abundance and fertility. There are many elephants in the parade, the most important of which is the Maligawa Elephant - commonly a tusker - who carries the Sacred casket said to contain the tooth relic. One such Elephant was Raja, a large male tusker who carried the casket in the parade for 50 years. He is now celebrated as a national treasure.

I had a lot of fun using so many bright colours and bold prints, so I plan on keeping this up as a on-going series!

If you are interested in prints of this - or any - piece, please get in touch via DM, or drop me an email at [email protected] :)
