London Buchanan
Hello my name is London Buchanan and I am an afro latina artist based in Colorado. My work centers complex emotions and lived experiences that I and other people of color and queer communities face. The goal of my art is to confront themes of microaggressions, mental health, social justice, racism, colorism and politics.
Using acrylic, watercolor, mixed media and digital designs, I amplify my voice and others to challenge these themes and invite reflection. Each piece I make serves as a moment of visibility, resilience and change. My work exists to create spaces of healing, representation and empowerment. I used to create an image of what I wished to be, now I create my reality.
I welcome you to take this journey with me through my art and designs, as I have used my art for years to process, I hope this is your opportunity to do the same.
