In this feature, five painters show how abstract work can come from a life fully lived. Each of them looks closely at the world and finds something worth keeping. An afternoon sky. A chance encounter with a famous painting. A familiar shoreline. A color that changes your mood without asking permission. They play, experiment and let curiosity lead the way. Their paintings aren’t puzzles. They are places to rest your eyes and let your thoughts wander. Spend a little time with them and you may notice that you are seeing everyday…

We chose the theme “Faces” to celebrate visibility, vulnerability, and connection. This exhibition is a call to artists everywhere to bring faces to life not just as images, but as reflections of emotion, identity, and the shared human experience.

The gender gap is real. You’re not overthinking it. If you’ve ever looked around at an exhibition lineup or flipped through an art fair catalog and quietly wondered why there are still so few women, your instinct was right. The numbers back it up, and they’ve been doing so for years. But understanding how to read those numbers is where things start to get really interesting. Art market reports love clean charts and polished graphs, but behind those visuals are messy truths. They show that for every celebrated female artist, there…

Take a look at the powerful Faces submissions that are coming in from artists worldwide. Through portraits, abstract forms, and expressive interpretations, these works reveal vulnerability, strength, culture, and connection showing that every face carries a story worth seeing.

This article looks at the quiet strength shared by five dedicated oil painters. Through patience, steady work, and attention to everyday life, Sarah Sedwick, Jenny Barroso, Kim Smith, Emma Woolley, and Elena Gual show how persistence can turn ordinary moments into lasting beauty. Their stories reveal that creating art is as much about endurance and care as it is about paint and canvas.

What do faces mean to you identity, emotion, memory, or transformation? Across time and cultures, faces have been our most intimate storytellers, revealing and concealing, connecting and protecting. They hold laughter, silence, and the traces of every journey we’ve lived. Now, the **Women in Arts Network** invites **women-identifying and non-binary artists** from around the world to explore this timeless theme in our upcoming **international virtual exhibition**. Through your art, let faces become mirrors of humanity reflections of who we are, who we’ve been, and who we are becoming. Submit your work…

At some point in your art journey, your work finally leaves the studio. Maybe it’s wrapped up for a show, maybe it’s headed to a collector who found you online, or maybe it’s just your first sale ever. It feels good, right? But here’s the part most artists don’t really think about ,  that sale is just the beginning of your artwork’s story. What happens next, who resells it, and how its price changes over time, that’s where the art world starts to get interesting. There are basically two worlds your…

Five women talk about how the wild world around them shapes their painting. From ocean shores to open plains, they share how watching animals and light each day turns into quiet, thoughtful art.

At small shows, you can always spot the collectors. They move slowly, eyes lingering, heads tilting just slightly. They’re not rushing toward a sale, they’re trying to understand. They’ll glance from the painting to the artist, then back again, as if looking for a quiet match between what’s seen and what’s felt. Before they buy anything, they want to sense that the person behind the work is real, steady, and creating from somewhere honest. For women artists still finding their place, that kind of presence matters more than people realize. Collectors…

You ever notice how some artists seem to get seen everywhere ,  not because they’re rich or famous, but because their work somehow travels? It pops up in group shows, zines, someone’s Pinterest board, even in a random café post. And then there’s you, scrolling, wondering how your work that feels just as good, maybe even better, seems to vanish into thin air after you hit upload. Here’s the truth no one admits: being seen isn’t about being lucky, or loud, or backed by cash. It’s about being findable. And findable…
