As an artist, showing our work to anyone opens the door to criticism. It’s not easy because everyone sees things differently and so making art feels like a part of ourself. It always crosses my mind, “what if they don’t like it?” A lot of times I’m shocked when I get a compliment because I’m hardest on myself. I assume every artist has faced insecurity over what someone else might think. I’m pretty sure everyone has had someone say something negative about their art. Its not fun to experience. It’s very easy to wallow in and keep repeating in your mind, especially the next time you at ..read more

Mindy Lacefield is a mixed media artist, teacher, blogger, and YouTuber. Her art is intended to capture nostalgia and bring back the joy we had as a child. Her art is often based off of toys from the 70s and 80s, especially strawberry shortcake. The best part is her work doesn’t look like it’s something from the 70s or 80s. The colors and layers are very vibrant and the way she adds in little memories from them can’t help but make you smile. My favorites of hers are CandyLand and Strawberry Shortcake. She is always using new supplies and every painting is filled with different me ..read more

Where there is leopard print, zebra print is sure to follow! The bold stripes add a bit of fun to everything. Zebra print is super versatile. It can be more subdued than other animal prints with just a few, thin lines. Or it can be bold with large stripes and bright colors. The stripes on these pants are a statement in themselves. Wear them with a simple t-shirt to balance out. Try a skirt with a classic button up shirt And if you’re really not sure about dressing like you’re from the jungle, grab a zebra clutch that can go with pretty much anything! Do you like to wear z ..read more
