Beyond The Sacred Show at Sacred Machine Gallery

Hello All, It's been a long time since I've written anything. I'm in the middle of a move to a new house and a new art studio (super excited), my car got hit while I was parked, and I've been on a few trips and had a few art openings. Busy times!!
The 5th Anniversary show at Last Rites Gallery is around the corner! If you live on the east cost, try to make it out to this show. An amazing line up of talent! Big congrats to Last Rites on their 5 years!!!

Last Rites Gallery 13th Hour Show

A big Thank You to everyone at Last Rites Gallery! I had a great time at the reception, my first visit to NYC certainly was memorable, getting stuck in hurricane Sandy and having my flight cancelled 5 times in a row is not an experience I'm likely to soon forget! The watery submersion of my airport aside, I had a great trip, and really enjoyed exploring NYC. I'm scheduled for the upcoming Last Rites 5th Anniversary show this April. So if you missed your chance on the Goat Eyed Mother piece, don't fret, my work will be hanging on the walls of Paul Booth's amazing gallery again soon!

Macabre Show at La Luz de Jesus Opens October 5th

Opening Reception: Friday, October 5th; 8-11 PM The 'Dark Mother' Series for the La Luz de Jesus 'Macabre' Show Jasmine Worth's latest collection is titled Dark Mother. In this series she's focused on the conflicted imagery of woman as both holy mother and originator of sin. Embracing the Pagan roots of the Goddess Mother image, as well as the iconography of other religions, she seeks to unify the diverse depictions of the divine mother into one entity. In these works she reunites the image of the divine mother into a whole, encompassing both aspects of the dichotomy that has torn her in to an object of both reverence and fear. Jasmine Worth crafts scenes from fairytales gone awry—swirling seamlessly between the sweet and surreal, inevitably dipping into the valley of the morbid. She studied formally at Watts Atelier as well as Studio 2nd Street in Encinitas, CA, and earned her BFA from the Laguna College of Art and Design. While she possesses the credentials, the product of her toils clearly pours from the cobwebbed corners of her mind, not the classroom. Her paintings—a cabaret of vibrant hues—are a blend of soft textures and colorful characters, juxtaposed against gloomy themes. Created in her home of San Diego, Jasmine combines dark influences and subtle-yet-serious undertones with raw artistic talent and a rarely seen creativity. Her work exudes a strong bearing of individuality, manifested through characters that speak almost vocally and give a new element of depth to an otherwise two dimensional medium. Each scene tells a story and every story is as diverse in emotion as it is in appearance. Contact the Gallery Director for availability and purchase info: (323) 666-7667

Sacred Machine Show Preview

The upcoming weeks of show madness are about to kick off. Everything I've been working towards for the last year is going to be taking place in the next 8 weeks. I'm excited, but also starting to feel the pre-show jitters a bit. Starting with the Live Free Podcast Show at Hellion Gallery in Portland, OR. I will be in attendance for this, so I hope to see some of you there. Portland has to be one of my favorite places in the world, and I'm really excited to be showing there for the first time.

Next up is the Santa Muerte show in Tucson, AZ at the wonderful Sacred Machine gallery of Daniel Martin Diaz. I'm really flattered to be part of such an amazing list of talent.

I will also be there for that so I'm hoping to see some familiar southern California faces there. Splendor Device is the brain Child of Kelly Castillo, co-owner of the Anaheim gallery Rothick Haus. Kelly has amazing things planned for the group, mountains of creativity and thought have gone in to this project. It's been a truly inspiring experience to be a part of this creative process with a bunch of talented artists.

Last Day of GMWaT4 and New Shows on the Horizon

Hello All,
Today is the last day of Gag Me With A Toon 4. A big thank you to Steven Daily and Tomi Monstre for having me in the show. It was a blast.
I have some shows coming up in the near future:

Ltd Gallery
Geek Girl Group Show

Sacred Machine Gallery
Beyond The Sacred
May 11th, 2011

C.A.V.E. Gallery
Venice Art Walk
May 19th, 2012

Also, I will be going to Hawaii at the end of the month for 10 glorious days, so please be patient with me if you order anything from my etsy store in the interim. I will get to the orders as soon as I get back. This means I will be missing the show opening at Ltd, which I guess means they're just going to have me back so I can attend the next opening ;) And hey, it's Hawaii, who would turn that down??
Lately I've been finding myself in situations that may not be second nature to a strange, all black wearing, artsy gal (like camping in the middle of the Valley of Fire, or going beach hopping in Hawaii) but I've been in some wort of weird Gypsy-traveling phase lately and all of the experiences have been a lot of fun. I look forward to more of them.

March Madness

We are coming up on the end of my March Madness. I have been too busy to post, so this will have to make up for the last few weeks in which I've been busy painting, running to the post office, painting some more, going to show openings, getting drunk in creepy David Lynch-esque hotels with awesome people, and then painting some more.
We opened the Petals to the Metal show last Friday the 16th to lots of metal and petals.


Next up was the Gag Me With a Toon show, curated by Steven J. Daily and Tomi Monstre. The show was PACKED. A big hug and thank you to everyone involved, it was a treat to show with so many amazing artists.

Show merch is available here: http://www.welovefine.com/nby.php?d=13 and the original art is available here: http://www.wwagallery.com/SearchResults.asp?searching=Y&sort=7&cat=1881&show=200&page=1 grab it while you can!
This weekend we will be opening the Freaks of Nature show at junc Boutique & Gallery. Some of the art has already come in, and it sure is freaky!! This one is sure to delight (or horrify, depending on your proclivity)

Come dressed in your finest Carnivale Side-Show Freak attire and join us for a night of booze and art!

The Passion of Evil-Lyn

Sneak preview of the completed version of one of my pieces for Gag Me With A Toon 4, "The Passion of Evil-Lyn" all finished and ready to be framed and shipped out to GMWAT!
I'll be posting more about that show, along with the unveiling of my Flintstones painting, after this weekend's opening of LALUZAPALOOZA!!

Super excited for all these shows coming up, I plan to be at each of the openings, so I hope you can make it out! La Luz is going to be a blast, as always, and promises to be a packed night full of booze and brilliant art. Next up is the botanical themed art show "Petals To The Metal" at Vishuddha Creatives in South Park, San Diego. If you went to the Pirate show opening here a couple of months ago, you know you're in for a fun night. The flyer for this one rocks (am I allowed to say that if I designed it?? oh well, I'm saying it) and I'll be posting it here shortly. The next night will be the opening of Gag Me With a Toon vol.4, at WWA Gallery in Culver City. So super excited about this one, can't wait to see how all of these amazing artists will reimagine the saturday morning cartoons that are so near and dear to my heart. And finally at the end of the month, rounding out all of the March Madness, is the "Freaks of Nature" show at junc boutique and gallery, curated by yours truly, and featuring our artist roster of usual suspects.

LaLuzAPalooza - Sold Out

A big Thank You to my collectors for making this a Sold Out show for me. I hope I will be seeing lots of you at the show opening this Friday. La Luz always throws some of the best show openings, and I'm sure this one will be no different!
March is going to be a busy month, with shows opening March 2nd, 16th, 17th, and 24th. More info and details on those shows to come!
After that, I will be working on something big for October...more info soon....

La Luz De Jesus Gallery proudly rebrands our annual juried group exhibition, LALUZAPALOOZA. This gigantic, no-theme show features works from some of the freshest and most relevant artists working today. Over 9,000 submissions from commercial illustrators, graphic designers, tattooists, scenics, students, animators and working gallery artists had to be sorted-through, and we've finally narrowed it down to 125 or so artists. The official piece count is awaiting verification, but you can bet that it will be another (tastefully) jam-packed, salon-style exhibition. There are some familiar names from our ever-growing roster of feature artists, but an overwhelming percentage of the work comes from a brand new batch of undiscovered, emerging talent.

Please join us as we continue to support the latest and most original efforts from the nation's alternative art scene.

LALuzaPalooza Opens This Friday!

LaluzaPalooza opens this Friday, March 2nd, 2012 at La Luz de Jesus gallery, from 7-11 pm. Here is a sneak-preview of my art before La Luz posts it on their website. I hope to see some of you at the opening!
