A couple more beautifully sculpted raku fired ceramic masks by Cecile Gurrola Faulconer currently on display in the Gallery. That beard though!

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Influenced and inspired by the ancient mythology and legends of her Greek and Mexican ancestry, Cecile’s art has a style all its own, ready to be interpreted differently by all who view them. Whether Cecile goes to work with an idea in mind or with nothing of the sort, when her hands find the clay, her creative nature comes to life to create these masterpieces. Simplicity is a rarity, as curly eyelashes, shells, hand-crafted jewelry, and occasional metal screws are added to create diversity. Different firing processes are used including raku, a low-fire hands on firing. The magical raku firing process usually produces brighter colors, and generates metallic flashes of copper, gold or silver.

Bottle Ponchos - I've got some fabric squares and yarn which should be all we need.

 Sugar Skulls - Decorate with silk flowers or dazzle it up with some rhinestones. I have black and white skulls and an assortment of flowers.

Portrait Illustration :: Experimenting with color in Adobe Illustrator. Honoring Alaa Murabit, a courageous advocate for women’s rights. I love how passionate and intelligent she is! In a recent interview with @forbes she was asked “What is your advice to people who don’t know where to start?”

[ @alaamurabit ] “Ask yourself: What in my life can I do? Who in my workplace, in my family, or my community can I uplift? Can I amplify their agency? If there's a woman at work who is never heard, bring her into the room with you. If you have a niece or a nephew who does not understand the complexities of women's rights, talk to them about how to treat young women. Ask yourself: where do I hold power but do not share it with others? If we take on more individual responsibility for the way we talk about women, the way we treat women, the way we teach leadership to our kids, our societies, our companies, our governments will look very different.”

Such great advice. You may think there’s not much you can do to help empower women but that’s so far from the truth.

BLACK LIVES MATTER George Floyd Bookmark Created in Adobe Illustrator

George Floyd’s death was a terrible injustice caught on film for the world to witness. Imagine all the other injustices that have not been captured, despite police officers being ‘required’ to wear body cams.

When discussing the alarming number of black men and women being killed by police some people use the excuse that more white people are killed by police. Even if that’s true it’s not a good thing and doesn’t justify the murders taking place. It’s unacceptable to kill an unarmed person period.

Here are some captures of my Powerful Women Acrylic Paint Series currently on display in the gallery until April 30th. I used a combination of techniques including traditional hand-brush, paint pouring, finger painting, spray paint and airbrush. I love portraying female powerhouses in my artwork. Go bold or go home! 💋♥️🔥

I had a wooden box made with a print of my Alaa Murabit portrait painting on the top. I have to say I’m really impressed with the quality from ZNO (@zno_usa). I’ve had a couple photo books printed by them which were nice and thick, and now this. The production time was also pretty quick.

Alaa Murabit is one of the top most influential women fighting for Gender Equality in the world. She’s passionate about Women’s Rights issues and is making a difference.

Check out my Love is in the Hair vector art posted up on a billboard. Don’t get too excited it’s just a mockup 😜. How can she not brighten your day? We need more billboards that are solely for positivity. No branding or call to action, just beautiful art. How much does a billboard ad cost anyway... where’s kickstarter when you need it. 😝🌈💕 Dream big!

Live painting by @galinarichardson. Such an honor to be featured in her beautiful artwork! This was definitely one of my favorite parts of the gallery reception last Saturday. Seeing the progression from start to finish was timeless. I hope everyone that attended enjoyed this as much as I did. 🥰

How is Baby Yoda so freakin cute? I love him so much I had to create a bookmark with his adorable little face. Lately I’ve been embracing the saying ‘Start Small’. Things can be overwhelming sometimes it’s easy to get discouraged. I like to remind myself to take things one step at a time.💕
