i’m jealous of hollie chastain
Sigh. More amazing mixed media. I’m always so impressed {ie. crushed by jealousy} when an artist can do something so simple, using only a few elements, and still make their work feel special/unique. Chattanooga based artist Hollie Chastain is one of those artists. Finding her was quite unique as well… I was writing another post when my browser window popped up with her work on it {via Papernstitch}. Seriously. I don’t know where or what I accidentally clicked on but I sure was happy when her work dropped in my lap. Thank you Art Gods. I owe you one.
thanks for introducing us to Hollie!
you’re welcome! i was thrilled to find her too!
ps. your trip to paris looks like it was amazing! i see that you made it to ‘Tombees du Camion’ as well! i’m so jealous!
hollie’s work is really great
These are fantastic, great use of colour and love the combination or drawing and found materials!
I know… makes you want to rush out to a used book store and rip the covers off doesn’t it?

Thanks for introducing me to such a talented artist! I checked out her etsy and found an original that I had to have. Since I live in chattanooga too she agreed to meet me to handover the piece and I will say it’s beautiful in person! She even agreed to let me write about it: http://modernsauce.blogspot.com/2010/03/ms-note-no-artists-were-harmed-in.html
Cool chick (with a good sense of humor) and great artist to support!
Wow! That’s amazing. So jealous of you for buying an original… and in person no less! {good luck with the stalking, although i don’t think you need it!}
