Dazed & Amazed
Do you ever find yourself in awe of the talent and vision that other artists have? I do. All the time. Art has always interested me. I remember being a teenager, growing up on Long Island, hopping on the train into NYC with my boyfriend just to spend the day visiting the museums and taking in as much art as I could. My focus became photography, but that doesn't stop me from spending hours upon hours, browsing through Instagram and Etsy, being amazed at the work of other artists. All mediums interest me. Photography. Mixed media. Painting of all types. Paper art. You name it, I find it interesting.
Sometimes a piece just speaks to my heart. It will evoke a feeling in me, stir a memory, make me want to own it. That isn't always possible. Things aren't always for sale. When they are though, especially when created and sold by a small business such as my own, I'm all about supporting the artist. I recently made such a purchase. I follow the IG account of a fellow Etsy maker named Jennifer. She and her mother create and sell the most amazing, organic looking acrylic paintings. I find them incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing. Their color combinations, the flow of the paint, the cells... simply gorgeous! I love watching the little videos they post about the process of how their pieces are created. From the moment I found their shop, I knew I had to own a piece they created. Then I found it. The perfect painting. The colors were exactly what I needed for my space. The size was just right. It reminded me of a confluence of streams and rivers, flowing. It was abstract yet natural. It spoke to my heart. I ordered right away and when the painting arrived, I was beyond pleased. In person it's more incredible than I could have imagined. I smile every time I look at it.
I encourage you to check out Jennifer's Instagram account: dazed_and_painting and the Etsy shop where she sells the artwork that she and her mother create: Dazed Painting. Show them a little love and you may even find a piece that speaks to your heart as well.

They also make the most beautiful magnets and necklaces. Here's the necklace that I own... gorgeous!
