Hello there lovelies,A little while back I read this fabulous interview on My Owl Barn, which introduced me to an amazing artist. These beautiful owls jumped out at me, and I have to say it was love at first sight. They are the creations of Juliette Crane, a mixed-media painter from Wisconsin.
"I love mixing all sorts of materials in my paintings-acrylics, spray paint, charcoal, pencil, ink, pastels, origami paper, glitter, vintage sheet music and wallpaper. I usually create on canvas, but lately have been experimenting on large sheets of Bristol paper and wood triptychs." - Juliette Crane on materials & mediums, from the My Owl Barn Interview.
"When I first started painting, I created a lot of girls and loved to cut their outfits from the vintage wallpaper my sister-in-law gave me. But then I came back from a trip to Australia and painted a lion. And after that, the owls started coming out in my work…and now I can’t stop! The owls made me remember how much owls were a part of my life growing up and how much they represented my childhood and what they meant to me."- Juliette Crane on why her artwork involves owls, from My Owl Barn interview.
This talented woman also runs classes and e-courses on how to paint owls, and her prints are available to purchase on her Etsy shop. You can also find more of Juliette Cranes' lovely work on her website, and blog. Once The Boyfriend and I finally move into the house in Wagga I want to fill it only with things that inspire me - I think a few of these owl prints might be absolutely perfect for my sewing room.
Have you guys been crushing on any artwork (or artists for that matter) lately? Do you fill your home/bedroom with artwork that you love?
Until next time, xo.
