#Swipeleft to see the process. #Ethiopia is home to this interesting and isolated indigenous tribe called #Mursi. There are less than 10,000 of them left in the world and majority of them live in Omo National Park. Cultured Art. • • • • #acrylicpainting #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #artist #mursi #mursitribes #ethiopia #africa #africanart #miamiart #laartist #miamiartist #culturedart #ladieswhopaint #blackgirlmagic #jamaicanartist #kimlaynart https://www.instagram.com/p/B8zDHfgFHzO/?igshid=67brfdkq71n5

Gather your broken pieces and hand them to God. Make peace with your pieces. Become better, stronger and more beautiful. This is how we are made and remade by our maker. Beautiful broken pieces. • • • • #acrylicpainting #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #artist #mursi #mursitribes #ethiopia #africa #africanart #miamiart #laartist #miamiartist #culturedart #ladieswhopaint #blackgirlmagic #jamaicanartist #kimlaynart (at Santa Monica, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8zAMuTl_oW/?igshid=txbmgtjft84a

#fbf One of the shows in 2019 where I displayed two small canvas prints of ‘Esther’ and ‘Somewhere in Gion’. Towards the end of 2019 my artistic style slightly changed. 2020 has lit a different kind of fire in my work. I’m not taking my gift for granted and I’m not here to play! #gratitude #artist (at DTLA Arts District) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8R6e4lpV4F/?igshid=30237sr7lh0d

First show of 2020. If you’re in or around the Los Angeles area February 21-22, I’ll be showcasing a few new pieces at @thevortex.la along with many other talented artists. Ticket info in bio. #kimlaynart #laartsdistrict (at The Vortex) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8R35pFJKzR/?igshid=qnupx2hgktn3

“Good Hair” Part I and II #ForTheCulture As much as I sometimes wish I could knock out 10 paintings a week, I find more pleasure in knowing I paint with intention. I paint the culture. I paint to teach someone something they may not have known before, or show them my interpretation of it. #BeautifulPeople #Worldwide #culturedartist (at Santa Monica, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7_nDCvp_A7/?igshid=1d9r2shqh9vf

It’s ALL “GOOD HAIR”. Representation matters #ForTheCulture. Painting my way around the globe and appreciating everything in it #kimlaynart #culturedartist (at Santa Monica, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7_l36XFyy7/?igshid=17g50ihyyk6y8
