Artist Trunk Show this Sunday on Stanwood

Artists Mickie Bellah and Zanna James will be hosting a trunk show from 12:00 - 5:00 this Sunday, June 15th at Mickie's home at 3111 Stanwood Drive. This unique cultural event is located right here in North Shoal Creek and we hope you'll all come out to view the art and meet the artists.

Mickie creates surrealistic and vibrantly colored abstract oil paintings. She describes her painting process as Spirit guided and writes that, "the energy of the colors sets off a tone that resonates with the person viewing the canvas. As the viewer begins to see the ‘hidden’ images, their vibration increases and they connect with the painting.

"I call them Intuitive Surrealistic Abstract Images. I am guided to the colors of paint to use and how to apply them. In a meditative state I will see shapes of images which have no meaning at the time but develop on the canvas. On occasion, colors will also come to me the same way."

Zanna James is a jewelry artist residing in Wimberly. She works with mixed media including metals, stones, glass and fibers to create one-of-a-kind original designs. Her delicate designs draw upon a natural flow; a flow she calls her Sacred Intuitive Artistry. She is inspired by the earthiness of her Hill Country surroundings and the animals she loves.

"Zanna is acting in response to a very loud voice within, one which was echoing the small voice that had called her since she was a child called her to listen to that impulse to create beautiful objects which have voices of their own, using a bead, a swirl, a pendant as words to communicate spirit, love and wonder."

Due to the unique and fragile nature of the artwork, the artists have requested that this remain an exclusively adult trunk show so that these delicate pieces will not be damaged.
