Brushstrokes & Backstories | Pop Queens, Pigments, and Gen X Obsessions

Описание: Pop queens, pigments, and the 80s—oh my.
In this Brushstrokes & Backstories video, I’m swatching beautiful handmade watercolors inspired by Taylor Swift albums while sharing a very personal story from my childhood, my lifelong obsession with Madonna and growing up as a Gen X kid in the 80s and 90s.

This is a cozy, story-led art video where I paint, ramble, and reflect on music, nostalgia, personal style, identity, and how the things we love when we’re young quietly shape who we become. Expect watercolor swatches, pop culture memories, cassette tapes, MTV

Perfect for artists, Gen X creatives, watercolor lovers, and anyone who enjoys calm art videos with personal stories you can listen to in the background. If you love art with personality, nostalgic storytelling, and colors with backstories bigger than your Aqua Net cloud—this one’s for you.
