Loving the Arts in and Around Wilmington, DE

items Moved to Delaware and now I’m finding things to do. From the opera to art galleries, I’m taking the time to enjoy what the city of Wilmington and surrounding areas have to offer.
As an avid reader I love finding small bookstores that have a great atmosphere. They even have a silent reading time.
Black Girls Love the Arts on Instagram: "I love finding hidden gems like @huxandhiro during the The Ladybug Music Festival. They have events for book lovers like me…😊 Even a silent reading time. During the festival they had live artists and bands which packed out their space with spectators. #musiclovers #bookloversunite #bookstoread #readingnook #booktok #blackgirlslovethearts"

One of the reasons I love art is because of how I feel when I look at it. I’ve always been someone who loved to doodle or write as a way to relax.

My name is Jason Colbert, and I am an oil painter who draws inspiration from childhood innocence and vibrant colors. My paintings are not just a representation of what I see, but rather a portrayal of what I aspire to see. Through my technique of colorism, I aim to bring out the inner child of my viewers by blending bright paint pigments with profound life ideals. I founded Life in Colors Studio in 2018 after undergoing extensive training at Memphis College of Art. The studio is based on the famous quote by Denzel Washington: "Without commitment, you will never start, and without consistency, you will never finish." I am committed to transforming the way we perceive the world and will always strive to live a life full of colors Veni, vidi, vici I came, I saw, I conquered Live Free Love Hard Life In Colors #LifeinColorsStudio #fypage #fyp #art #drawing #streetartist #artandcraft #oilpainting #blackartist #blackart #blackexcellence #dreams #blackartistoftiktok #blackgirlmagic
