We’re Getting to the Good Part with Ingrid V. Wells

Artists like Ingrid V. Wells increasingly use their platforms to challenge societal norms and advocate for mental and physical well-being through their work. With this collection of oil on linen, Ingrid V. Wells paints about the journey of radical self-compassion. It is a fierce rebellion, she considers “pretty punk rock”, to stay in your joy when blanketed in seemingly depressing circumstances. With this body of work she responds to her personal puzzles with the aim of inspiring the viewer to greet challenges with curiosity. Ingrid’s paintings serve as a visual respite for joyful rebellion in the face of obstacles.
