Exhibit A.
I’m not a runner or a bread-baker. I’m not big on meditation. When I need to feel zen, I paint. Hi, I’m Taylor Linzinmeir, the editor-in-chief of Backdrop Magazine. I tend to exhibit a lot of anxious energy in my day-to-day life and painting helps quiet my mind. Here are some of my pieces from the last few years.
LEFT
Untitled portraits of Frida Kahlo, Iris Apfel and Halima Aden to showcase women who break the "beauty myth," or the idea that there is only one aceptable form of beauty everyone must conform to.
ABOVE
"The Girl with the Star Earring" portrait of my niece painted to emphasize how the culture of girlhood has both changed and stayed the same through generations.
LEFT
"Hair Care" painted to distigmatize natural body hair.
