Artist Statement -

Incandescent Adoration: 

There is no higher love than choosing your own authenticity. This series is dedicated to those that are able to be their authentic selves and bravely love out loud. Love themselves, love each other, and love boldly.

In this exhibit, I strive to capture the thread of love that binds the queer community together. To represent us more fully, with all of the *sparkle* that we exude in life. Through each work, I intend to memorialize those who dare to love openly, and pay homage to the sacred relationships, both platonic and romantic that are home for us.

Artist bio -

Jazz Howington is a versatile painter, muralist, and illustrator that started her career in 2012 (SCAD Illustration Alumnus 2011). She transitioned to the world of technology and UX Design to survive capitalism, but continues to create art part-time. Jazz typically works in acrylic on canvas, but has been exploring mixed media by combining inks, spray painting, and block printing methods on top of traditional painting. 

Her current works are primarily focused on capturing authentic queer relationships and the affection and adoration of those relationships, both romantic and platonic. The continued consideration of color and negative space is a constant theme in her works. She is currently based in Savannah, GA where she lives with her wife and 2 dogs.
