Join me into a realm where creativity meets storytelling, and each canvas becomes a doorway to understanding my world.

“Weekend of Dread - The Mask” 15”x13” Mixed Media + Collage on Paper in a cute ass frame . This one just came together so organically and is such a great representation of one of my favorite dreads - THE MASK 👺 It’s a very vulnerable place to be in to feel one way but have the need to hide it behind a completely different face depending on who you’re around. Which masks do you put on around peers, family, friends, lovers 🤷🏻‍♀️ . . She is colorful and dreadful and will be at hung at @theburenbkny for the month of August (courtesy of @up__mag 🎈) . . . #collage #watercolor #painting #nycart #vanessakreytak #vknycart
