Meet Under Coffee




This is from a 22" X 12.5" mixed media piece I recently completed. It has coffee stains and wine spilled on it, something new I've enjoyed experimenting with and surely will again. It is currently featured in my etsy shop along with other new
artwork. Hope you dig it! Thanks for checking in with Artgirlsy.

Flamingo Therapy

Flamingo Therapy is an italian fashion label based in London by Ilaria Di Fiore and her flamingos. "Flamingo Therapy is proud to be relatively underground,and not to compromising with the consumistic and exploitative world of the mainstream fashion with all its 'must have' and then 'throw it away' kind of dictate.." Check out their facebook page.






How beautiful are these pieces?
Each one a work of art in itself.

These are part of the Flamingo Therapy line, belonging to a lovely woman named Ilaria, whom I met in London at one of those sweet outdoor markets.
I stumbled upon her section of the market and was thanking my lucky stars that I did.
Not only is Ilaria incredibly sweet and FUN (plus she brought me to her secret spot to use the LOo!), but her clothes are probably some of my favorite in this universe! You may not be able to tell from the pictures, but the material Ilaria uses, is this soft, thin, knit type material that is OH so comfortable and fits snug to your form. I bought the cutest skirt ever and a pair of sweet shorts.

I wish I could say I made these, but Flamingo Therapy is one unique style that speaks to and inspires Artgirlsy to do her own thing.

LA Women


Today my friend, model, Jessica Mafesi and I ran around Hollywood on a surprisingly dimn California day, catching everyone's eye and bringing sunshine to the streets. Why? We were wearing the increasingly popular Artgirlsy TuLA skirt...It's amazing when LA Women run around together in cute, flowing, rather "hippy and gothic" (according to Jess!) skirts, oh the attention they get!

Is it noticeable? For some reason, my camera blurred out certain parts of the image. (Must've been b/c I dropped it in the Louvre bathroom in Paris!!! For reals! I think I'm in need of a new camera.) I actually think the way that the image turned out, looks kind of cool and really works; it focuses more on the details of the beautiful skirt and less on the model. (The Artgirlsy model is incredibly beautiful, but she represents all females that can shine when wearing this lovely skirt) It seems it is true in all types of art, that when mistakes and blemishes occur, things that are unplanned, many times it ends up working in its own way and can add to the overall artwork. That is one of my favorite things about art...the mystery, the everchanging results, the mistakes that you make which you work with and turn with and run this way and/or that.

Jess wears leggings underneath, as the TuLA skirt which is made of several different textured fabrics, is meant to be worn over a little something. Each skirt is unique...every TuLA tulip will look a little bit different.

Artgirlsy takes requests!

More/better pictures to come!

Fashionistas-in-training

My STAR Fashion/Jewelry students made their own version of the TuLA skirt! These kindergarten cuties LOVED making and modeling their tutus. A very memorable and special last day of class. I will miss them!

Frogs in Whiskey


This is a drawing I did for the musician Frogs In Whiskey. His music is amusing and fantastical. He is very talented, unique and psychedelic. It makes you feel as though you are in a groovy funhouse of sorts.
