I have been influenced by many people in my world lately – the give or take of real relationships. The insecurities of friends who get snap like a 2-second shake. Never in my life has someone told me to respect their space. You better watch your mouth before my lips start running. My art is being influenced by the daily hardships, relationships, and trust building. Its been a long time coming – I need to go back to my roots & show em how it’s done. #detroitmade #abstractartist – don’t mess me me, ever. you have 0 ideas on the amount of power I have in SMM. But I’m not pity… this painting was a two-hour meltdown of my feelings from a friend who thought it was appropriate to “call me out” on my friggin birthday. On my birthday – I do whatever I want first. and secondly, never disrespect a hustler – we don’t hold grudges but we certainly never forget. And lastly, I’m not a crazy– but my mind can act that way sometimes – please don’t give me a reason too. Let’s hope that we can find the beauty in this painting and not the emotion that I was holding from it. Follow my main brand > @missydi 💋

I never sign the front of my paintings anymore.. almost ever. I prefer to allow the person to move the positioning to their preference of how they like to see the art. You would not believe how many times I move and rearrange the art in my office, home, mom’s house ajajaj Follow my main brand > @missydi 💋

Art is a passion but not the main focus in my life. I like to paint because I get to escape the real world and enjoy a new one of color. Follow my main brand > @missydi 💋

There are only two things that worry me the most… failure.. and not giving my all. I am a woman that does not stop.. and I’m so nervous to fly from Colombia to Chicago for this major @artbattlechicago event- I want to paint abstract but many paint other things that are more likely to win. What should I do? Follow my main brand > @missydi 💋

Cross Point: ✖️my next moves will be my best ones yet… never in my life would i have imagined a world where I travel consistently, host exhibitions & paint with world known artists… (in my spare time). Art isnt my full time- my social media agency & techno label are my drivers…cross points… making a decision to scale back the agency & focus on my brand. #artist
