Featured in Circle Quarterly Art Review, Issue 11

If You Can’t Keep Up With Me, You Don’t F**ing Deserve Me was selected for publication in Circle Quarterly Art Review, Issue 11, Summer 2025. It is also featured in my professional portfolio on Circle Arts, an international platform dedicated to presenting artists whose practices demonstrate clarity of vision, strong conceptual direction, and consistent technical execution.

This painting marks a critical evolution in my work. It is direct, embodied, and uncompromising. The title, like the composition, is not a provocation, it is a statement of fact. I created this piece at a time when I no longer felt the need to filter my power or justify my pace. It is part of a lineage in my studio that centers emotional precision, energetic authority, and unapologetic self-definition.

Its selection by Circle Arts reflects the level of seriousness I bring to both my process and my career. With an international curatorial panel and an annual acceptance rate below 10%, Circle Arts is recognized for spotlighting artists with sustained professional commitment and global collector interest.
