TOMBOI BARBI by Jude Monet is a lifestyle brand about holistic wellness and eclectic storytelling. Acclaimed for interdisciplinary mixed media practice consistent in murals, equity-centered community design (design with empathy), and studio art nationwide. Born in Los Angeles, than further developed at Parsons School of Design at The New School in New York with an Integrated Design major. Her dedication is deeply rooted in creativity as a catalyst for mutual aid and cultural care.
In addition to her visual art, music, dance, performance art, and film; she is an educator and creative director.
In my art, I explore the themes of wholesomeness. I believe in the message ‘Nurture Your Nature’- everyone has their own nature and it’s their responsibility to nurture it. Hence, TOMBOI(athletic) and BARBI(glam). My ‘Universal Heart’ logo/moniker includes a heart with devil horns/tail and halo. My art explores the connection between light/ dark, nature/urban-industrial, and the depths of identity (feminine and masculine). All the dichotomies.
