Honey Pierre, an Atlanta mixed-media artist, builds worlds from yarn, fabric, and paint. Her colorful, vibrant and textured worlds may seem fantastical, but what they portray is as real as it gets—life, family and community. Honey Pierre’s latest work is on display in a collection called “I’m Just Living Some Life, Okay?”, which explores millennials’ and Gen Z’s mental and emotional lives during and after the pandemic.
The exhibition is on view at Impossible Currency Studio & Gallery through May 18, and the artist recently joined Lois Rietzes on “City Lights” to discuss her newest works

Pierre uses punch needle – a traditional textile technique historically known as rug hooking – to craft textured portraits of her friends and family, situating them in everyday environments like parks and living rooms.
