"Gaze"
19 x 20
I made this eco-friendly piece from post consumer waste materials: cardboard, paper and wood
A place of Neo Folk Art and otherworldy curiosities...
Peacelily in a nutshell...
- Joann Castrillo
- I am creative geek with a life: I am an artist, collaborator, a PTA & soccer mom, a queen bee & a domestic goddess blissfully married to my best friend & blessed with two magnificent girls who are a lot of fun & a load of hard work. Not a day goes by when I don't rejoice having my children & meeting my husband ~ my husband & my children define me, but my art is an extension of myself. I did not receive any formal training in painting & drawing. I am self taught & self representing. My creative soul is always on a perpetual journey & I am still learning with each piece that I create ~ often stretching myself just a little bit more past my comfort zone, hoping to bring new confidences that I didn't know existed. My approach is to bring something whimsical & ethereal into the mundane, creating characters that exist within their own realms. I love that I am able to help support my family by doing something that I am thrilled to do & I share this with you with the hope that you will find your niche & voice & to empower you to discover the unique gifts within yourself.....From a woman's soul♥ Joann

She is stunning! Love your work and I look forward to owning more pieces.
I am very grateful for your continued support, Darlene. Thank you for your kind words ~ I do not take that for granted.
This is brilliant! Beautiful painting. Who would've thought you can make such beautiful art out of a USPS box? Sheer genious!
Thanks, Sara! Hence my nickname "Recycle Queen" :-)
