etsy website facebook pinterest australian mixed media artist czech artist karen lewis oli divisova twitter I am a self taught artist and graphic designer. I have always had a love for art and I’m happiest when I’m getting my hands messy in my studio. I describe my art as being shabby mixed media, whimsical & homey. I want to create art that will add love, warmth & whimsy to a home because there really is no place like home. Until very recently I didn’t have the confidence to share my art with the world but I’m now embracing that fear and letting go. Sometimes as artists we worry too much about how other people will view or critique our work and that can be crippling to our creative process. Learning to create happily, passionately and authentically has been the best thing to happen to me. It became important for me to share my artwork with others in the hopes that it might inspire someone else to follow their dream. wom en ART of sen chloe ceramics
