Justina Blakeney

Justina Blakeney is an artist, designer, writer, and New York Times bestselling author creating work at the intersection of nature, color, culture, and creativity. Drawing upon themes of spirituality and connection to the natural world, Justina’s artwork serves as a visual exploration into identity, the essence of the “true self” and the concept of being a "human being" rather than a "human doing". She primarily employs gouache, acrylic and chalk and often incorporates mixed media components such as wire, and natural elements into her work.

Her artistic vision emerges from a diverse array of references, from wrestling with and celebrating her curls, curves, and curiosities to explorations of pattern, cubist abstraction, and magical realism.

Through her work, Justina seeks to uncover and uproot binary thinking and inspire herself and others to embrace creativity, celebrate diversity, and honor the interconnectedness of all living things.

She has presented work in both solo and group exhibitions at ArtWolf Gallery (Los Angeles), and her fine art has been featured in Wallpaper and Architectural Digest.
