Welcome to a special edition of Beyond Frida in which I spotlight some of my wildly talented artist subscribers.
Private View, apart from being a platform for my own musings, is also a community of artist womxn and an ongoing invitation to contribute your own art and thoughts.
I recently asked you to raise your hand if you wanted to share your work - thanks to those who came forward and those I nudged ;)
If you missed that call, please do reach out with your information and I’ll include you in a future Beyond Frida community edition.
Email me at jkcalladine@outlook.com or DM me on Instagram @jkcalladine.
Here we go…six Rockstar artists from the Private View community.

Artist, writer, maker of funny reels, loves pelicans (check out her eco-zine featuring pelicans!), Leanne’s work makes me smile and her Instagram is a delight to peruse.

What a joy to compile this list and explore the artists’ websites and social media! Please give them all a follow, a comment, or a subscribe.
We are all so different in this community, yet connected by our common passion for creating art and our desire to build a more equitable art world.
Let’s keep celebrating each other.
Until next time.
