Oh fun! Mermaids every day!

#1

It’s MERMAY! 🐙🐬 I decided to join the fun this year for the first time next to my usual projects. Drawing mermaids is super fun cause it gives you the opportunity to create lots of curved and flowing shapes. You know I love reds. Let’s create red mers for the month of May ❤

Exile

Press Release

NEVADA CITY, CA - April 28 to May 26, 2018. A new body of work debuts at Phaneros Art Gallery by artist Hannah Yata. Her work delves into the consciousness of what the feminine and its place in this industrial age. Yata’s work is best known for her hypnotizing masks, sensuous forms, and electrifying colors.

Hannah Yata’s new body of work debuts this April at Phaneros Gallery in Nevada City, California. Her paintings continue to examine the psychology of modern-day society and it’s relationship to nature. “Exile” reflects on the story of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the sacred garden and the great divorce that happened between humans and their relationship to the earth. She considers the mythos of this exile as not only human-made but also contemplates how ancient matriarchal societies were transformed by demonizing its beliefs and its symbolic elements. She challenges this demonization as ultimately a split in our psyche, a fear that imbalances our very being and our relationship to the feminine earth. Archetypes of this old religion are again raised in her work to question the tradition of heroes that center around human, male leaders. “Exile” looks back to the creative, fertile force of the feminine, the memory of the matriarch, and the celebration of the Mother.

Hannah Yata was born and raised in Georgia. Since her graduation from the University of Georgia in 2012 she moved to New York City and worked tirelessly to develop her skill and work on her research. She’s known for doing several album covers for rapper/musician B.o.B and her latest solo show at Corey Helford Gallery in 2016, “Dancing in Delirium."Her work has been shown nationally and internationally in galleries, art fairs, and museums. Many notable magazines have featured her work including Blisss, Hi-Fructose, and Beautiful Bizarre Magazine.

Niyoko Ikuta born 1953 is a Kyoto-based artist whose work has been much acclaimed ever since she started exhibiting in the early 1980s. Her work has been collected by numerous Japanese museums and is also represented in the USA by institutions such as the Corning Museum of Glass. 

 In 1980 I began making artwork by laminating sheets of glass using adhesive and exposing the cross sections. My motifs are derived from feelings of gentleness and harshness, fear, limitless expansion experienced through contact with nature, images from music, ethnic conflict, the heart affected by joy and anger, and prayer.

In creating my pieces it is like imagining an architectural space when viewing blueprints, deciding on an image by reading into the intentions of the architect, or imbuing a space with dynamic energy to bring it to life. I am nervous when placing my finished work of art in a specific space, but I also enjoy it. via

Meet the Official Photographer of The Lord of the Rings’ Hobbiton

To see more of his photography from all over New Zealand, follow @shaun_jeffers on Instagram.

“I just love creating images of things that people rarely get to see,” Shaun Jeffers (@shaun_jeffers) says — and he definitely follows through on his ambition. The New Zealand-based photographer moved from Liverpool, England, to the small island nation three years ago, inspired by his childhood love of “The Lord of the Rings.” What was supposed to be a year-long trip has become a permanent residency — there is just too much to explore and photograph.

Shaun is the official photographer of Hobbiton, the village built for “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” epic film series. Now it’s a tourist attraction, and Shaun’s photos of its hidden cottages with moss-covered roofs, set against the lush backdrop of the hills, bring in people from around the world. But his eye is trained on much more than just the little movie town. Shaun, a freelancer, travels to capture the massive New Zealand night sky — “the Milky Way is just so clear down here,” he says — and natural phenomena, from glowworms to the aurora australis. The real world is even more magical.
