Grab her art now, the next big thing out of New York.

Her art speaks to me, such a wonderful feeling!

Love CJ hendry ❤ Truly agree to what she said. It is indeed true that if someone wants controversy and money it is easy to turn to making artworks which has no beauty at all but only concept. This totally degrades the artists' hardwork who spend years of practice painting, and instead gives all the attention to something like a pile of candy.

not sure if you're aware but the story behind Felix is about his boyfriend dying from aids and as the viewer takes part his boyfriend is also losing weight and dying. it's extremely loaded. it is not just a pile of candy!

I listen to her TedTalks that she delivered in 2014. I'm amazed how her accent has changed from Aussie to American. Also, she sounds more genuine 5 years ago.

greatness is not necessarily about sweat nor is great art measurable by monetary value. Money is meaningless really, particularly now. The whole thing is all made up anyway. Why cant an unmade bed be wonderful? Why isn't it? The idea that "I could've done that" is all well and good when you have done it.Photorealism is simply that, there's not much more to it. We have deep and thoughtful conceptual ideas and then we have something that is all about the beauty of the surface aesthetic. Understanding art is about understanding ourselves. Art is life, this is life, consistently paradoxical.
