Quel Hynson

Growing up in the 90s & early 2000s, the walk to the pencil sharpener was the runway. Sharpening the pencil down to the metal so you can see the entire outfit was the only way lol!

This piece has found a new home! Thank you to my wonderful collector 🫶🏾🫶🏾🖤

May it bless your space always!

Part of my growth as an artist is to take myself on field trips… it’s necessary. A frolic a day keeps the BS away

Weather The Storm 🌺🌊

After painting this for over a year, I’m finally done😩👏🏾

This is what I consider my ultimate love letter to Houston 🤘🏾, the strength & resilience of community, matriarchs and just growing up in the South.

MESSAGE: There’s ebbs & flows in this life. We may go through turmoil alone but we heal in community. With style, with grace, lace yourself with knowledge, a sense of humor, and see the beauty in things.

More on the easter eggs in this painting later.

🌺❤️‍🔥 Paint & Sip VALENTINES Edition ❤️‍🔥🌺

We brought in the love, the vibes, the warmth, and the respite from life this weekend! All of the beautiful faces, people, jazzy outfits we HAD to give y’all a vibe you wouldn’t get anywhere else.

So honored and dope that y’all chose to spend your evenings with us. It was an honor leading the paint & sip and watching everybody put their own spin on the canvases.

Our trivia game proved what we all know: great music is timeless and a lot of us have old souls 😂 Big love to our raffle & trivia winners.

And of course you did more than your big one hosting this event and bringing our vibes together. The decor and tone was unmatched 10000/10 for sure 🔥🔥

Get your salsa, jazz, hip hop and other dance lessons here. Also available for event bookings.

See y’all next time❤️‍🔥🙏🏾

I’ve been working on this painting for over a year. It didn’t feel like I was saying what I wanted to say until now.

Dropping this week ❕
