Sky Barrata

"Sky Barratta primarily uses acrylics and oils and focuses on still lifes and landscapes. Emulating nature is how they learn best and there is no better feeling than knowing. Drawing and painting is how they connect with people, how they speak and where they first found themselves. Creating art allowed them to recognize and appreciate their uniqueness, through their expression of gender, passion for learning, interest in nature and experience with ADHD."

Jade Kowalski

Emotional Mammal was created by Jade Kowalski, who is herself, an emotional mammal! They started creating from a very young age which has since turned into a lifelong outlet for them to help with stress and mental health struggles, the chaos of daily life, and to maintain an infinite flowing source of stimulation and journey. Along the way they have picked up many different forms of creating in order to satisfy their curiosity and experimental interests. About 4 years ago they started offering their pieces to the world in the form of table vending at shows and festivals and have since been trying to continuously offer a sneak peek into their essence as an artist. They enjoy the interactions with people from all walks of life being able to appreciate their offerings through their own unique connections! Their style will continue to change as they grow into a different person, just like people do as they go through life. Right now Emotional Mammal is focused on decluttering their mind to better portray the array of ideas they have yet to come and highlight the aesthetics of their style and journey as a multifaceted artist. If you are interested in seeing more of their work, you can connect on Instagram with @emotionalmammal !
