8 x 10 on 9 x 12 fine art Somerset Velvet paper, $130 USD
Shipping: $5 usps first-class ($15 international)
Statement: “i began creating this piece while in the process of moving across country. at the time i felt very upended. it sat untouched in the interim, but i picked it up again as we began to settle into our new life. the place we’re in now is new, but mixed up heavily with so much nostalgia for me. what memories it’s awakened have been like little lights going on of so many things i held dear tucked away since childhood that they never became tarnished. i feel it captures the starting point of confusion evolving into many little branches of possibilities that continue to flourish or now can begin to.”

Statement: "We’ve had a long, rainy winter in Northern California after a few years of severe drought, and this painting was inspired by my joy at spring’s emergence.

Claudia Hahn
She Who Guides, 2023, Acrylic on paper, approx. 7” x 8”
Unframed, £250 + pp
"I revisited an old friend… call her my spirit animal, guide, or simply companion and friend.
She can be gentle and warm, supportive and comforting, or sometimes judging. We don’t always agree. She might be absent for months, sometimes years. Now she visits me often.
Recently, her teeth grew sharper than usual, and she is short of patience. She snaps, snarls, or you will hear her deep growl. She is not to be feared, but she has grown protective.
These are weird, uncertain times we find ourselves in, and her patience is tested. I hope 'tis just a phase, and she will find her usual, calm and gentle self again.
I’m glad she is there, nevertheless.”
Lulu Lancaster

“Jett has wired limbs and can hold a pose. She wears tattered fabrics with tiny velvet trims along bodice. Her wings are wired and can be gently posed. They are created from Paper Mache and hand painted and have been "sugared". She holds a tiny black plastic balloon with a hand made resin bat. Her shoes are hand sculpted with a tiny heel and covered in matching fabrics. She travels with the wood stand and is removable from it.”

Statement: “Owls may symbolize wisdom, transformation, and the passing through thresholds for the living and dead. Black owls help us see through our weakest moments and may they help haunt those that wish us harm. Horns and teeth are for our strength, protection, and defense. Gold represents accomplishments in our lives and our goals that we wish to manifest. There is some personal representation of Scorpio/Scorpius in this piece, The artist’s sun sign and their partners moon sign, a sharing of watching one another’s back with vigilance and deep understanding for one another.”
