New Works November - All Souls

I Love November. beginning with All Souls Day and ending with Thanksgiving, it's a month for remembrance and celebration. In keeping with the spirit of this season I've started a new series inspired by Memento mori. This genre of art dating back to antiquity is meant to remind us of our mortality and to remember lost loved ones. My Memento mori, made with antique photographs, carved wood and found objects, alludes to life's ephemeral nature. I'm so excited to be able to exhibit some of these pieces in a fantastic group show at Sacred Machine Museum and Curiosity Shop. The show is part of The Santa Muerte Music and Arts Festival and runs through December 31, 2011.

    Elizabeth,
    Hi! I came across your work on Etsy, and it is unbelievable! I love the direct connection with nature, and the line you draw between people and the world we live in.

    I featured one of your pieces on my blog today in a round up of Arizona artists. Everything is credited to you (of course) and linked to your Etsy site.

    You can see it here if you'd like: www.mishmashmake.com

    I look forward to keeping up with what you're doing!

    Peace, Heidi
