Floss is Boss


Flossy Particles is the lovely name that a wonderful Australian artist refers to herself as. Her real name is Sarah, but Sarah is not quite such an "artsy" name. Flossy gives little information about herself away but I do know that she just moved from Sydney to New South Wales. What fun.

Anyway, Flossy's work is beautiful, delicious and so very sweet. My heart is screaming at me to buy a piece of her artwork just to see if it tastes as good as it looks. My head, however, isn't fond of the idea.

I would love to watch this woman work. I know that every mark is calculated and has meaning, but also is packed with hope, smiley faces and rainbows. It's crazy but I'm sure it's true. Flossy could probably pour a bucket of paint over a canvas and still illuminate my office (even through a monitor!). The picture above is incredibly crafted - the hair, the clothes, the birds, the hands...

Basically, Flossy is a talent who, although produces obviously hastily creative pieces, has a soul and spirit that transfer to the viewer like a charm. Please check out her website and support her any way you can!

Sorry this post is all over the place, I'm a little giddy today!

I've Been Stoned

Sharon Stone is an Australian artist who is inspired by poetry and literature in her work. Her creations are obviously packed with her sweat, blood, tears and love for expression. It's frustrating to view images on her website because, although crafted with droplets of genius, I know there is so much more to this fantastic woman's work.

The final pieces seem to be based around love and passion (red) or tranquility and harmony (blue). Even through my computer monitor, I can sense the artist has a deeper understanding of feelings than most "same-old" painters and paints to communicate, rather than for material gain. Stone is described as an "abstract" artist but I don't think there is anything abstract about her. Her masterpieces, even if only to me, tell stories of tragedy, death, deceit, religion and peace among other things.
