Auction Sneak Peek #12

Artist Necole-Efua Wood has generously donated three pieces to our auction! 

And this is what she has to say about her art: 

Hello, my name is Necole-Efua Wood and I am living proof that there is much to be said about a diverse upbringing. My mother is Ghanaian and Filipino and my father is Irish American. Exposure to such diversity at a young age, naturally led to my broad understanding of love, life, art, style, tradition, and my passion for travel.

These past couple of years I have made it my personal mission to travel to another country at least once a year. I have been to Ghana, London, Philippines, Greece, Taiwan, and South Korea. The exciting part is this is just the beginning.

In the midst of my traveling, I began to appreciate and question the little things that led to the creation of bigger things.  I believe that life is a beautiful gift that is constantly expressed through many art forms; jewelry, paintings, clothes, poetry, makeup, dance, etc., and my goal is to expose you to all of those.

Auction Sneak Peek #11

We'd like to introduce you to artist Betsy Barnum of Reverie Studio!  Betsy has donated this facinating piece to our auction:

"It won't matter either way"

The painting's composition is meant to evoke a feeling of comfort but uncertainty.  The right figure could be protecting the left figure from the bird, or ambivalent about it. The ocean water creates a sense of unknown.

One framed artwork made from acrylic paint, pencil, and collage on paper. Created in 2008. Size is 44 x 30".


Ready for hanging/display.

Please see Betsy's website to view more of her work!

Auction Sneak Peek #10

Dum Dum da Dum!  Our next WPIG artist will have you or a friend looking fabulous on your big day!  Angela Inez created Bella and Beya after she designed a bridal hairpiece for her friend to wear on her big day. She loved her flower fascinator so much that she asked Angela to create the hair pieces for her bridesmaids.

Angela loves going to flea markets and antique shops for inspiration. Her goal as a designer is to create bridal accessories for the modern bride that are affordable, classic and fun!  Angela has donated two pieces to the WPIG art auction: 
 
 

The Gardenia Bridal Flower is white in color, made with silk petals and is adorned with vintage inspired rhinestone piece in the center. The Gardenia Flower attached to a silver alligator hairclip for easy styling.  The flower is approximately 4 inches in diameter.  Retails for $28. 

This lovely ruffled garter is adorned with a pretty pink bow and a vintage inspired sterling silver heart charm. Stretches from 12" to 22".  Retails for $22. 

Please see the Bella and Beya Etsy site to see more of Angela's work!
