Be My Art Director?

11/19/2019

Greetings from the Studio!
I could use your help, art fan!
As we enter the season of eating and napping, I could use some direction for when I come out of hibernation in 2020. I currently have 4 (!) series of work that I have started over the past couple years (I think my inner artist has ADHD), and I want to know which one you think I should focus more energy on, rather than spin off and start a whole new one.

The four series are:
1. The Goddess/Saint/Heroine Series: Icon Illustrations of the Feminine Archetype (currently have 3 completed)
2. Vexed: a Re-telling of Tragic Shakespeare Heroines (currently have 3 completed)
3. Angry Bee Girls (currently have 4 completed)
4. Our-topia: Envisioning a Hopeful Future (currently have 3 completed)

You can see examples below.I have many, many ideas for each series.... but do you have a fave? I'm curious to find out! Here's a survey!

It’s a toss up between the icons & Shakespeare. Which of them has been more commercially viable for you?

Thanks Kelly and Betsy!
Betsy: in terms of commercially viable, who knows? Hildegarde has been very popular. But if I marketed to Shakespeare fans, then the heroines would probably be a good route. thanks for your feedback! xo

1. Our-Topia
2. Goddess/Saints/Heroines
3. Shakespeare
4. Bee girls

Though I love all of them, I love the Our-Topia series as I think they're not only beautiful, but timely and relevant...

I love them all, but I especially love the Goddesses/Saints/Heroines. They are so compelling and speak to us over the ages. I think they are wonderful for young girls to be inspired by! Of course, I love Shakespeare too, and Our-Topia is timely and important.

Thank you so much Patricia for your feed back! The goddesses have been a popular choice in my wee poll. :-)

I LOVE the angry bees - but feel like the our-topia series is where it’s at - forward focused and a little more positive. The other two series are beauteous as well but I hate it when I ask “what do you want for dinner?” And everyone replies “I don’t care...” so I will give you this! Have a happy December break!

I am a fan of all of your work....but your Ourtopia piece is just stunning.....so much movement and stillness and focus and connection and love. Thanks for imagining it.
Are prints of that one available?
