Worlds Collide - Artwork

Last Saturday was the opening to "Worlds Collide" a two woman show featuring paintings by Nicole Gustafsson and sculptures Chelsea Bayouth. I flew out to the show and had a wonderful time. It's always wonderful to finally meet people that you've talked to online, and to see new friendly faces. Also I want to give a huge shoutout to the wonderful folks at iam8bit. Jon, Amanda, Noah, Billie, and all the gallery staff were awesome to work with and helped bring this show together.

I created 15 paintings that were paired up with Chelsea's sculptures. My paintings featured worlds and environments to play off of the creatures. For the creation of my works I looked to geographic land formations, mineral structures, tree and plantlife, ancient fossils and bones, weather patterns. I used these inspirations to form individual "worlds" or fictional places. Creating unique spaces and environments in paintings is one of my all time favorite themes to work with as an artist. It was such a joy to play around with space, color, and lighting in these works.

The works are currently available online at iam8bit to purchase. The show will be available for viewing in person at iam8bit gallery in LA until Sept 28th.

Worlds Collide exhibit opening at iam8bit

Many of you know that I've been working away on a project, and I'm happy to announce "Worlds Collide". This is a two woman show featuring awesome sculptures by Chelsea Bayouth and paintings by me. The show opens this Saturday in LA at iam8bit and both artists will be in attendance. I've worked many years with iam8bit and am super excited for this show.

Worlds Collide 

Opening Reception: Sat, Sept 20th from 7-11PM

2147 W. Sunset Blvd, LA California 90026

Join us in celebrating the fantastical relms of Nicole Gustafsson's Nimasprout & Chelsea Bayouth's Stellarium, fused together for a unique artistic collaboration!

Here are a few sneak peeks of my works-in-progress for the show. You'll have wait to see the finished pieces in person, or the entire show will be online after the opening reception :)

I created all my paintings with gouache and ink on wood panel. It's been a while since I have done paintings on panel, but I wanted to have a difference look with this show and shy away from traditional framing. If you live in the LA area come on over Saturday night! Hope to see some of you there :)
