Have you heard of......

Dallas Brooks


I love this picture of her. I especially love the paint all over her hands. (I stole it from her blog)

Dallas Brooks is my new favorite artist. Her work is so original, whimsical and beautiful. It's been awhile since I have been excited like this for a new artist that I have found. Most of her work is done in watercolor but what makes her work so different is her use of glitter. She has managed to use glitter as a form of light in her work. She creates beautiful shades and gives her art a wonderful dimension with her glitter.

In addition to her wonderful art, she is such a doll. She loves the NW (of course who doesn't) and uses words like RADalicious. How can you not love that?! I am already expecting her to want to come up and stay with me when she visits.

I am very excited because I commissioned a piece of art from her that I will get in May. I know it will be amazing and I can't wait see what she creates for me. I am already thinking of a couple of other pieces that I will want from her after this one.

Here is some of her amazing art.
