Books:Too many to list!
Likes:Being with my soulmate/husband, night walks, animals, thunderstorms, new orleans, the smell of rain, discovering and then rediscovering the most amazing music, wildflowers, hilltops, books, haunted castles, old old books, nice quiet days and evenings when you can focus and create without any sort of interference, vegan fare, anything & everything organic, the smell of lavender, artesian spring water, fine red wine, the ocean, seashells, stones, old trees, strawberries, the mysterious.
Dislikes:arrogance, irresponsibility, greed, real life 'drama', cell phones, clutter, cigarette smoke.
Hobbies:I talk to the moon. I draw and paint all the live-long day. The wheels of my mind never stop.
Vices:Really good chocolate. (Evil stuff.)
Heroes:Responsible, free-thinking people who seek their own opportunities and work toward personal success.
I have no idea where this year's gone! How did the turning and rolling days become December already? Alas, I hope the year's been as good to you as it's been to Kevin and me.
Those who know me see me as a relentlessly cheerful girl. I must concur... they're right. I'm ever-thankful for this life, and am ever-fervent to always be creating and working with the fanciful whims of the many colourful sorts of faerie-kin, excitedly tugging at my skirt all hours of the day/night.
The days, the nights... they seem to pass by faster all the time, yet I certainly don't feel any older than I had 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago. Remember... you're as old -- or as young -- as you feel, and that's about where it stands!
We're all spirit. Keep the child-like wonder within, always.
NEW ORIGINALS: Newly available original art pieces have been added to the Restless Moon Gallery Original Art section.. and more to come soon! :o)
EBAY AUCTIONS: New items are up for auction on Ebay, including originals, hand-enhanced/signed prints from the Paulina Tarot deck... and more to be added soon! Click here to see.
PAULINA TAROT: Each one of the 78 card images are now available as 8.5x11" giclee prints! The deck itself will not be available before the holidays, however. The deck remains in the lengthy process of overseas printing & publishing, and I've been informed that it will be available in the first quarter of 2009.
2009 PIXIE KIN CALENDAR: I'm sold out of my stock of this calendar, but you can purchase this calendar in select stores or online stores such as Amazon and BN.
NEW ORIGINALS & SALE: New original art pieces are available. There is a sale on select originals.
NEW HAND-EMBELLISHED ACEO ART CARD PRINTS: My new ACEO print editions are now being released as one-of-a-kind (1 of 1) hand-embellished prints; titled, signed & numbered 1/1 on the back. I've applied delicate hand-embellishments to these using mixed media. Only ONE card of this image exists in this edition. Your one-of-a-kind hand-embellished ACEO comes with a certificate of authenticity. You can still find several of my earlier collectible 2 of 2 ACEO limited-edition prints, but I have decided to release all of my new ACEOs as 1/1. These are available only in the Ebay shop. ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals." ACEOs are a quickly growing trend in the art world, meant for both the serious collector and the casual collector. The size is 2.5x3.5" and it fits into a standard trading card sleeve. This would be a lovely addition to your art card collection or to frame and hang in your home. Your ACEO arrives in a clear acid-free semi-rigid plastic sleeve and is packed with care. - click to see the new hand-embellished ACEOs -
'A WALK THROUGH WONDERLAND' ORIGINAL ART EXHIBITION & SALE: Several of my originals are included in this exhibition. Sculptors, painters and multi-media artists present their work for show and sale until November 30th. Presented by Duirwaigh Gallery.
PAULINA TAROT: No new news since the last mailing regarding the release date of my tarot deck; but you will be informed as soon as we have new information!
My latest piece is titled' Pumpkin Treats', and details can be found HERE. (As usual, the original is much nicer in person as compared to the low-resolution file you see on your screen.) Size is 9x12".
Also... the Duirwaigh Gallery 'A Walk Through Wonderland' online exhibition and sale is now underway! There you'll find several of my originals for sale, plus a mix of original works by many fabulous artists.
For a jolt of energy, I recommend these Sencha Shots. (Woo hoo!)
For a snack to go with the super-mega-amazing waters and Sencha Shot, I recommend these.
New limited edition ACEOs are available, printed using archival inks on enhanced paper: as usual, only 2 of each design will ever be available as an ACEO. Each are signed, numbered and titled on the back, and each comes in an archival plastic sleeve:
For those of you who share my love for all things N'awlins: here's another fabulously sigh-inducing French Quarter video by Clint Maedgen & The New Orleans Bingo! Show:
You've seen a few of my wonderland pieces as they've been completed, but here's a tiny sneak peek of all my originals (9 in total) that will be found in the Duirwaigh Gallery online show and sale, which begins October 27th:
(Note that 'White Cheshire Cat' agreed to trade places with the new 'Winking Cheshire Cat' as seen above.)
I could just keep walking and walking through wonderland, as the ideas are simply streaming.
Newly completed: 'La Femme de la Vieux Carre'. (Yes, indeed it is a French Quarter piece!) The size is 12x15.5" (a rather large piece) and it's mixed-media on watercolour paper. The original is available through my website.
Also newly completed and available at the website: 'The Warmth of Summer Snow', 9x12" mixed-media original on watercolour paper.
Alas, for those of you who long for some wonderland-goodness as we speak, the 'White Cheshire Cat' original (8x10" mixed-media original on watercolour paper) is now available in my Ebay shop. :oD
Hi, Paulina! Just this morning I received an e-mail from a dear artist friend of mine, telling me how wonderful and different your work is, and giving me a pep talk about my own work. I was going to e-mail you, as I thought you'd like to hear the kind words spoken of you from another artist, then I pop in here, and there you are! The new work is amazing, and many blessings upon you and your creative endeavors! Love, Sarah
Thank u for your friendship dear Paulina !
I'm a looong time fan of your art & have lots of favourites - The Faerie and the Green Owl, all the witches, the mermaids in our bathroom & of course Tiny Book Lover who lives above my bookcase^_^
The wheels of my mind never stop either! Been sleeping with a bag of lavendar to my forehead to try to stop them!
My favorites by you are the strawberry faeries--especially the one with the baby + the Mabon parade type one! We've been having a thunderstorm here every other day. Will think of you next time one comes.
