Meet Kristin Squire Of KSquireDesigns and Fat Girl Love!

Mayra Mejia: What type of art do you create?

Kristin Squire: I create digital art that focuses on celebrating fat/plus/curvy women of color living their best life by simply existing, doing activities,hanging with friends or doing whatever they want.

Mayra Mejia: What inspires your art, how did you get started?

Kristin Squire: Women inspire me specifically Women of color! There is not a day that goes by where I am not amazed by something a woman created or accomplished! Iโ€™m not sure when I started paying attention to plus size models/influencers but watching them gave me some self acceptance to be present and learn to love the body that I have. Especially since I did not have this type of representation growing up.

I started in the graphic design field in 2007 so I have always been involved in art making. I started focusing on digital art in the beginning of the pandemic. Figure drawing and digital art was a challenge I wanted to sit down and learn because it was a hard concept for me to grasp.

Mayra Mejia: Besides being an artist, what are some of your other passions?

Kristin Squire: Some of my passions are crafting and reading fiction novels. I love finding new trends in the crafting community just to experiment. From paper crafts to jewelry making! I also love reading fiction novels that involve fantasy, sci-fi etc. Itโ€™s something about being immersed into a different world that excites me.

Mayra Mejia:What/how do you want people to feel when looking at your art?

Kristin Squire: I want people to feel seen, appreciated and loved. I know how it feels to be overlooked and judged based on your appearance. So I want people to know that I create specifically for plus sized bodies because we deserve to be represented in all things.

I always think of when you try to find your name on a keychain or mug but you never find it or its misspelled. Iโ€™ve always hated that feeling. Like damn why am I not included. I want to represent some inclusivity with my art to help diminish that specific feeling.

Mayra Mejia:Where can we find your artwork?

Kristin Squire: Etsy: FatGirlLove https://www.etsy.com/shop/FatGirlLove

Website: www.ksquiredesigns.com

Mayra Mejia: Do you have any upcoming projects or drops you would like us to know about?

Kristin Squire: Iโ€™m a lover of all things cute and quirky so my keychains will be dropping on June 19th!

My next upcoming project will be a nude plant series and starting the process of developing enamel pins!
