ABOUT

​T W I R L: A Decade of Artist Interviews came about in the interest of developing an archive of artist stories comprised of interviews and visual imagery. This project is for those both curious to see how this select group of artists will persist in making art despite life’s unforeseeable challenges and eager to watch their artwork continue to progress over time. The digital platform will host annually updated artwork and interviews from working artists over the period of a decade. We are intrigued to see where chronicling these artists’ practices in this way may lead.

​Submissions for this project are currently closed.

​This project is directed by Ingrid V. Wells.  Wells earned her MFA from San Francisco Art Institute and her BFA from Arizona State University. Her work fancies the fantastic and humorous in theme and the charming, the kitschy, and the celebrity in subject. Wells's paintings investigate the world of gendered consumerism and the ethics of fascination. Her work has been shown in the Bay Area, New York, Miami and internationally in Japan, South Korea and Israel. Her work has been featured in The Huffington Post, Daily Mail, BUST Magazine, El País and Teen Vogue, among others. Wells is a multiple time recipient of the professional development grant from the Center for Cultural Innovation. She manages San Francisco Artists Studios and enjoys teaching oil painting. Wells currently lives and works in San Francisco.
