Paintings by Alexandria Sandlin

One night only: Saturday, December 11th from 6-9. During the Georgetown ART ATTACK!

Artist Statement: Pretty little injured girls, candy coated mushrooms, cupcakes, sweet dreams and nightmares. The world is a scary place full of wolves and pitfalls. If you can pluck up enough courage to wander in the forest there are treasures and beautiful things to be found there. You will gain strength from suffering and learn perhaps one of the greatest lessons, sometimes cake is worth the cavity.

With special guest DJ Corporate spinning tunes!

I have one or two pieces in the 12 days of x-mas show, I painted two but they may only be using one in the show, Im not sure. Then for the show at the Stables I will have 12 pieces, some new original artwork, some framed open edition prints and some framed Limited edition hand embellished canvas prints so a range of prices from like $20-$650. Stop by listen to music and look at art! =)

Also I wanted to point out my public art page on Facebook. That is the best place to go for my most recent artwork and event/show dates and random babling from me(not to much of that though). There should be some cool stuff going on over there soon to so if you are on The Facebook you should add this page:

Also I have recently restocked my space at Happy Delusions down in Renton and took some new art and prints in to Twilight Artist Collective in West Seattle so if you are local and in need of some new art you should stop in and check it out :) I also have a bunch of art, prints, cameos and bookmarks on Vashon Island at Good Merchandise, I dont think I had posted about that yet over here.

New art and Some shows!

I have been meaning to post this for a bit now. I have a few shows going and coming up.

First up This month my art has been hanging on Vashon Island at the Red Bicycle and it will be moving to Good Merchandise for the month of August. Both locations are curated by the lovely AnnaLisa LaFayette who owns Good Merchandise. I also have some prints and stuff in her shop for the duration of the art shows. I am also having another fun art show in August here in Renton at Common Ground Coffee and Cupcakes, it is of course a cupcake themed show! I am painting two new paintings for it, possibly a third if I have time and I will  also have a bunch of sweet framed prints to hang there. Then in September I am having an art show at Happy Delusions and I am painting some new BIG paintings for that, more on that show when the time gets closer. I need to update the shows/appearances section of the site here still. I also have a bunch of new art I need to add to the gallery section, I am a little behind at the moment :P

I am also going to be doing the Kitch N Stitch show on August 22nd in the SODO area of Seattle at Club Motor 12-5 pm.

I brought one of my newest paintings in to Twilight Artist Collective the other day. Powder Blue Pompadour, Acrylic on Wood Slice:

They have a really cool art show going on at Twilight right now to, if you are in the area you should stop in and check it out!

Well I better get back to work, so much painting to do....

New art and a Mini Munny

So I haven't posted my "new" Paintings here yet. Got to get better about posting the new art here when it is actually brand new. So I have a few Alice in Wonderland paintings that I recently finished, they were in an art show a month or so ago at Rung Studio in Georgetown Wa (Seattle). They are now available in my Etsy Shop and clicking on the pics will take you to the individual listings there, prints are also available:

Alice Resting On A Mushroom

Little Golden Key

Drink Me Bottle

Little Cake

I also just finished my first custom painted Mini Munny! This was pretty fun to do so I may do more in the future :) Click the pic to see more shots of her!

Little Blue Eyes

So Ill have more new art to post really soon! Now though its time to go clean the house. I had a house guest over the weekend and a show- I heart Indie in Kirkland on Sunday so I need to get caught up on my chores so I can paint without distractions...
