Readers,

Welcome to ArtSloth’s first release of the year! This issue is a celebration of the creative energy that pushes us forward.

Our spotlight shines on diverse creators who use art for connection, healing, and transformation. You’ll meet Joshua Tasdemir, the artist known for his mini-paintings and Free Art Project, aiming to make creativity accessible globally. Dive into the surreal dreamscapes of Maria Nechaeva, and explore the intuitive painting process of Fiona Stanbury, rooted in memories and landscapes. We feature Jocelyn James, who uses collage to open conversations about her experiences as a Black woman in America.
