heART Show presented by Jinxed & The Toothless Cat

Tomorrow is the group heART show presented by Jinxed & The Toothless Cat Gallery, this year features handmade hearts from an impressive line-up of artists, this year promises to bring you all the amazingness of previous shows with the excitement of being in a new location within the Piazza. The heART show is Saturday, February 13th from 6-????. 

 

Each artist is given a blank wooden heart to create a one of a kind piece of artwork for your valentine. This is my first year doing a heart! For my heart I've done hand drawings mixed with gouache on top of an aged piece of photo album paper that features gold lettering mixed with dark reds and bold inked blacks. Tonight I head down to the gallery to take down my paintings from the Femme Noir show :( and will be hand delivering my heart! {pics, prints and paintings to come to my shop}

New Years Hello

Hello my friends, it has been a while, I'm back after my hiding. Towards the end of December I was preparing for the Femme Noir art show this month at the Toothless Cat. Things have been more wonderful than I could ever have imagined and I've met so many talented artists that have opened doors for me. Tis the new year filled with magic and happiness. While taking a breather from painting, I've been extremely busy with creating new pieces for my shop and also for the 1st time will soon be offering Skeleton Krew prints, along with new paintings.

My little shop is sort of under construction and in the works of preparing for spring. I've been exploring new backgrounds and objects to shoot on, it still isn't just right but over the past couple of weeks I've introduced about 20 new arrivals and still in the process of listing five more this weekend. Below are just a few that are new this week, for more please check out the new arrivals section.

~ Tusk Earrings are quite elegant mixed with an exotic disposition. Made of plastic  and topped with silver, the tusks are matched with vintage cream faux flat beads.

~ Arteries Stone Bracelet: darkened chain is matched with two truly stunning pale translucent stones with amazing mauve crackles that remind me of splendid flowing arteries of the body.

~ Black Lust Earrings: darkness with a companion of elegance, originally designed in 2008, these black beauties are back with vengeance.

~ Willow Tree Earrings: the willow has always been known as a tree of dreaming and enchantment, the dangling chains reminds me of the organic form of the willow.

FRESH BLOOD from the Skeleton Krew

I've been in hiding the past couple of weeks, preparing for my art show. My little pink studio is filled with haunting faces and demons a plenty, I still have some details to attend to and am finishing up this particular painting inspired by the Black Death. In the meantime, I thought I'd share a new painting entitled 'Phantom Dancers'; twin sisters masked in black, lure the innocent audience in the Black Parade. This painting will be featured this Saturday at the Femme Noir art opening at the Toothless Cat Gallery from 6-10PM. (Click for details of show.)

I hope to see your beautiful faces!

(To all my darlings, new jewelry coming next week, many new supplies!)

'femme noir' is a four person show, composed of 2 male and 2 female artists. The ladies are painting with a macabre palate and the gentlemen are painting the women darkly. A real battle royale of the sexes seen through a dark tinted lens.
