In EPISODE 4 we chat with Octavia Ink on how our upbringings, adulthood & current communities have impacted and influences our creativity and art journeys.
About Octavia: Octavia Ink is an illustrator, printmaker, and graphic designer originally from Chicago, now based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She believes in art as a form of expression, using her art to represent those who are underrepresented while bringing social justice issues to the forefront.
As an artist, Octavia is driven and inspired by Black women. She’s set out to push forward those who are severely underrepresented and even excluded from the art industry. She wants to see women that look like her at the helm and she reflects that in her art. Constantly utilizing bright colors and dynamic movement in each piece, Octavia loves to incorporate flowers throughout her work. Pushing the message that we should give ourselves our flowers and celebrate growth and joy. | Octavia's Website
