I wanted to pay homage today to an artist whose work I find to be completely and utterly mesmerizing...
I feel beyond lucky to own an original piece of this artists work...
and count it as a purchase I will never do anything but be incredibly thankful for.
That pink hat and those haunting eyes...heaven in my books.
Here's Ms. Ophelia....as I like to call her...in my living room...
I adore her.
She truly is enchanting and makes my entire living room come to life.
I wish I could show you in photos the real beauty that is her face...hard to come across in pictures...her eyes seem to follow you as you move around the room...but not in a spooky way...in a moving/soulful way.
A look through Betsy's portfolio, and one can start to see how incredibly arresting her work really is...
Most of Betsy's work is large in scale, which makes it even that much more captivating...you can see more of her gorgeous portfolio HERE.
Doesn't get art just give you goose bumps?
Does me.
