Paper Doll Art

When I was younger I loved playing with paper dolls, it was so fun! I enjoyed playing with dolls in general. Now I make dolls of my own. I had an idea of making my own paper dolls-which I've been playing around with this idea for sometime. So I made a few, into magnets that is! I think it's a cute idea-to have a fashion statement on your fridge :) Don't you think so?

These are my very first ones and they are for sale on my etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/oneeclekticchick

Colorful Cities

One of my favorite subjects to paint is Cities! But my cities are made up by me-they are not based off of actual cities. The type of buildings I paint are fun in shape and size and come in a variety of colors. It would be an awesome concept if buildings were really in fun colors and each one a fun shape. Just imagine the skyline! To help you imagine that take a look at three of my paintings which is all about city life.

I've been painting and drawing cities since high school. And I have more city ideas for future art! One city that I hope to visit is New York City, I believe that is "The City" of all cities. If you're an artist and you usually paint or draw people why not try something new and paint a city. Make it your own, the possibilities are endless!

Mosaic Art

As an artist I'm always open to trying new things with my artwork. So last night I did a simple painting but made the background mosaic. I also used fabric in this piece. I like using mixed mediums to make one of a kind art pieces. So I think I will use this technique on future art pieces.

 I'm excited! I enjoy learning! In school my art teacher Mr. Bob Ragland said a lot of people look at art and say "I can make that", but really how many people actually do it? That's true-so if I say I can make something I really try to do it-not exactly-no, but in my own way :) I was actually inspired from my sister to do a mosaic piece. She did one in high school and it was amazing! I've always said to myself I'd like to try that one day, and so I did! I must say I really do like how it has turned out :D
