New Girl on the Colorblock

Welcome to my blog, where I'll show you what inspires my art! First up...FASHION!

I've always loved fashion...almost as much as I love art! I remember as a little girl, I'd fill my sketchbooks with all these wild and crazy outfits I could only dream of wearing. Dresses with 30 rows of ruffles... skirts made of rainbows and glitter... shoes with butterflies on the toes... bows as big as my head... my imagination went on and on!

Now, my outfits inspire my drawings. Fashion is art in itself, after all!

Check out this fun dress from Modcloth. I just love the bright blocks of color, and the way it makes me feel like a retro superstar! I paired it with my trusty cat eye sunglasses, Noonday Collection jewelry and a color-blocked tote that echoes the design of the dress.

In fact, I love this dress so much that when it went live on Modcloth, I had to draw myself in it before I ordered it. This is how I envisioned myself styling it before it even arrived on my doorstep! Apart from the lack of black knee high boots, (writes "black-knee-high-suede boots" on wishlist) I think I've got the look down!

Something else I like to do is take photos of my art with whatever pieces inspire it. It's cool to see what all planning and elements go into a piece!

Until next time, stay colorful and inspired, my friends!
