Of all the artists we saw on our trip to Paris & Basel, the one who touched and inspired me the most was not hanging in the Louvre, the Musée Orsay, or the Pompidou Centre, but @agneeesskipper. I fell in LOVE with her paintings, and because I got to meet her, and spend a couple of hours with her and her partner, Joachim, at their beautiful Spektakel Atelier Numas Igra in Basel, I fell in love with HER, too—her energy, her being, everything! 🖍
This doodle is directly inspired by a series of paintings Agnes created inspired by photographs of rocks. The photos and paintings were displayed side by side in an exhibition in June, which I wish I could have seen! You can see a few pics, and a video tour through the gallery, on @agneeesskipper’s Instagram feed.

Our time with Agnes & Joachim made me long to paint on big canvases! To have a gallery and host wild events like they do! Yet Agnes was intrigued by the things I do that she doesn’t. 🖍
It was a good reminder that each of us has gifts and strengths, and we get to revel in each other’s gifts while embracing our own. It’s not a competition, it’s a party. 😊
You get to be you, I get to be me, and we get to revel in each other. ❤️
