The Role Color Has On Healing

Color can be used in our art with more intention. We can draw upon specific colors to help us express our thoughts, feelings, emotions and mood within our artwork.

What Inspired The dKol Art Project

“I decided to photograph elements of this painting. Going in close and getting intimate with the details of the paint and the strokes felt like home. And it quickly came to me that mixing these two mediums, paint and photography, was exactly what needed to be done.”

Guest Artist: Christopher Fisher on Loss

He creates art out of loss. And each loss drives him into something deeper every time.

He comes to The dKol la femme Project to let us know he sees our mission and wants to find a way to participate in the artist in residency we have here. We will share more on that in the future but for now we wanted to spotlight Christopher.

Guest Artist: Trisha Hughes of Medicated Like Me

The road to vulnerability is a long one. Not static. Not easy. Not without cost. Not without the brilliant dichotomy of beauty & tragedy. The shedding of skin. Transformation. Losing oneself to an identity you may have spent years building & the subsequent unexpected grief that accompanies that loss.

Inspired by: Talia Favia + Dermot Kennedy

We have BIG plans on how we’re bringing a team of creative artists into the project. And watching this choreography set into motion to THIS song. WOW people. Stellar example of how interpretative dance infused with powerful music expresses emotions.

the young girls of the la femme movement

What if together we can begin a local movement to allow all ages to write in and share their stories. Whether they want to write, share photographs, lyrics, or have us help them share their thoughts in a way that allows them to creatively express their feelings so that others can resonate in them and realize that together we are more powerful than the isolation that we sometimes feel in our own thoughts.
