Art & Ghosts

Besides having a completely rad name, Art&Ghosts is an amazing art find! The artist behind Art&Ghosts chooses to remain nameless and refers to herself as Art&Ghosts, which I find very interesting.

The majority of her works (I know she is a girl due to childhood pics posted on her website) are created digitally. She focuses on digital painting and draws inspiration from "fairytales, mythology, dolls, spectres, dreams and nature." Her work reminds me of Mark Ryden, my favorite artist. There is so much to see in each piece that it is hard to go on to Art&Ghosts' next work.

Art&Ghosts' website said this on her website
Up until the age of seven, Art&Ghosts rather fancied that she was acutally a small sycamore tree instead of a real person. Upon discovering that this was not so, Art&Ghosts could not be consoled, however much her family sourght to comfort her. After twenty or so years of growing and forgetting, Art&Ghosts has unwittingly endeavored upon a pilgrimage back to her roots (yes, roots), in an effort to reclaim her arboreal state, her reserved place in nature.

I have included a slide show and hope that you all enjoy Art&Ghosts as much as I have.
