I love watching people love my art ♡♡

Look who's finally done! And prints have been made :-) Coming soon to a shopping cart near you. Everyone keeps asking why she's called Jane Austen Catrina. Check out the title of the book in her lap. This is my calavera. In 100 years when I die, I will wear big derby hats, read pride and prejudice all day, drink tea, and make friends with calavera butterflies. It's a self portrait, if you will. Spanish moss was inspired by a wedding I attended at Magnolia Plantation in South Carolina. The gold lipstick on the butterfly is inspired by my love of ALL THINGS SPARKLY AND AWESOME. I hope you love her, now that you know her story. I hope she has lived a full and beautiful life by the time she gets to this part of eternity. #janeausten #prideandprejudice #lacatrina #skeleton #prints #giclee #gicleeprint #chicagoartist #diadelosmuertos #dayofthedead #skeletonart #chicago #featuring_art #final #finishedpiece #selfportrait #acrylic #acryliconcanvas #spanishmoss #artshelp #pourmyheartout #portrait #selfie #teacup #teaart #davidstea #teatime #butterfly #monarch #calaveramariposa #skeletonbutterfly

Golden honeycomb heart in the works. For the #sacredheartshow. #dggoldenheart #honeycomb #hexagon #goldenpaints #goldenheart #honeybee #queenbee #workinprogress #wip

I love this copper #goldenacrylic. It covers so well and has a perfect metallic sheen to it. Golden honey combs, anyone? Another piece I'm working of for the #mujeresmutantes #sacredheartshow June 12. My imagination is running so wild. #wip #goldenartistcolors #goldenpaints #paintingsession #bee #queenbee #honeycomb #goldenbee

#timelapse means you can see an hour of work in 15 seconds. Boom! ;-) Rise Against is the song choice of the day. #jamesdean #tiredeyes

Had fun reaching outside my OCD style box for this one. #jamesdean #acryliconcanvas #acrylic #paintingsession #painting #chicagopainter #chicagoartist #femaleartist #workinprogress #wip #arteveryday #cantstopwontstop

Living in Pilsen gives me inspiration every day. I climb these steps to the train for my daily commute. I love the colors and patterns. The 18th Street stop is the most colorful I've ever seen. #pilsenchicago #18thstreet #pinkline #chicagoel #chicagotransit #cta #inspiration #mexicanart #murals #chicagomural #pyramid #maize #gods

And this?! I need it in my life!! Makes me want to go out and just start painting the walls of the hallway ♡ So inspired by her work. #flamingo #paintcolors #inspired #inspiration #colorful #spectrum #staircase #stairs #spiceitup #flowers #petals #patterns #getlostinit . . #Repost @jessbushpaints I'm really into minimalism at the moment

I wish this was a room I could walk into on the regular. I love imaging sitting here, with tea and a sketch book. How could your imagination not be completely full in this space? I love the colors and subjects. All of it ♡♡♡ #frida #fridakahlo #mural #femaleartist #womanartists #likeagirl #yellow #imagination #dreambig . . #Repost @jessbushpaints Finally got a shot of the finished El topo wall. @stellarhighdimes ❤️

Progression of Jane, made with #flipagram. I need to finish her. It's only been 6 months.... I am too much a perfectionist. Oyyyy! #procrastination #wip #workinprogress #paintcolors #paintsession #chicagoartist #mexicanart #diadelosmuertos #calavera #catrina #skull #skeletonart #skeletonbutterfly #skeleton #spanishmoss

I wanted to pick up one of these dresses for the #sacredheartshow, since it's inspired by the @dolcegabbana #dggoldenheart collection. And because I love everything in this collection. And I bet I'd look great in these colors!! But then it turned out that maybe the starving artist budge won't cover that.... After I get famous, maybe.... ? #whoa #starvingartist #dowhatyoulovethemoneywillfollow #artistproblems #firstworldproblems
