liza corbett 'persephone'

new art by a trinity of artists whose works seep into my dreams.

crossed fingers.

the above piece 'sweetheart come' by one of my favorite artists, liza corbett, is on the very top of my holiday wish list. it reminds me of lily dale & seances & of course, that weird dinner scene in my all time favorite movie/muse, beetlejuice. take a peek at some other incredibly affordable works she has over at anno domini gallery.

a perfect pairing of artists, jeremy hush & liza corbett, are showing together at loved to death's articulated gallery. each dreamscape contains an individual cosmos with a well developed fantastical visual language, with liza's focusing on the supernatural elements she began developing in her last show whilst hush's work features the ball point pen drawings / watercolors he is becoming known for. i'd like to slip into either world and meander for a while amongst the bones and birds and snakes.

sprit guides.

liza corbett has a new show! 'the summer-land' at blackbird attic gallery/shoppe in new york. lady liza has long been an inspiration to me, but this show in particular truly speaks to all that i've been investigating & obsessed with since i visited lily dale last summer. the show features divine portraits of spiritualist mediums, the fox sisters & spirit guides, all rendered in pale, eerie shades. 

a few odd things have been happening to me regarding synchronicity lately (& as part of the tower of books at my bedside, i've been devouring 'on divination & synchronicity' by marie-louis von franz) that i want to share here too, but i'm still a little underwater with deadlines . . . .

also, a few of you have been emailing me regarding a list of books i'm reading / or have read & would recommend. i'm gathering a post on this & will have it ready soon too.

a phantom among phantoms.

opening tonight at the amazing & hot pink amberella gallery is the much anticipated liza corbett solo show 'phantoms of delight'. i've been eagerly waiting to see more of her work as it's incredible in person and i hope that if you live in philly you'll come out tonight too!

The Drawing Room

Audrey setting up her installation in the front room of Think Space. 

Like many of us "pop surrealist' art collectors out there, I have a special type of hysteria reserved for the highly talented Audrey Kawasaki. Upcoming this friday night at PS mecca ThinkSpace gallery in CA is a show featuring drawings by Miss Kawasaki and an entourage of her equally talented friends, some who have established art careers and others who are recieving their much deserved spot in the lime light.

I especially adore this wood drawing by Audrey. I have been following her career since college on her LiveJournal and am lucky to own a few of her prints and to have been able to see her breathtaking work in person when she showed here in Philly through the now defunct Lineage gallery. (R.I.P)

Liza Corbett is a fellow member of the Etsy team I belong to, Cabinet of Curiosities. I greatly admire her work and dig her Etsy shop where you can buy prints and originals.

Fumi Nakamura is another lovely lady I followed on her LiveJournal years ago. I have a lovely original from her and love to see that she's doing so well. She works mainly in colored pencils, a medium that is one of my favorites.
