Girl in Conch Shell Necklace

2008-05-18T17:10:00.000-07:00

This piece is a work in progress. She has more layers to be applied, but I kind of like her softness right now, so I wanted to share her with you. Plus, I've always thought it was fun to see the stages an artist goes through when completing a painting. Sometimes the first version is the best one. I will find out tomorrow.... hope you had a nice Sunday!!

"Year of the Pig" by Robyn Feeley

One look at the portfolio of artist Robyn Feeley and you may be asking "Why Paint Animals?" Robyn's response would most likely be, why not!? Inspired by the raw beauty and unconditional love that emanates from the animals, her whimsical pastel portraits truly capture the essence of each animal. This self-taught artist has an uncommon approach to her work. Her ability to think outside the box allows her artwork to be free and quite fluid. Her style is truly unique. Working from photographs and personality descriptions, Robyn has been delighting her clients from New York to LA since 2003.

"Painted Cat" by Robyn Feeley

Robyn is active in her community as a member of the Topanga Chamber of Commerce, the Malibu Art Association and the Arizona Artist Guild. She is also a member of the Topanga Canyon Gallery, The Red Dog Gallery in Phoenix, The Cactus Gallery in Eagle Rock CA and the newest member to Ten Women Venice! Robyn shares her Topanga canyon home with her 14 year old son Max, 3 rescue dogs and a miniature pot belly pig named Frank.

Welcome to the Ten Women Venice Blog!

2007-10-17T17:40:00.000-07:00

Hello friends, we at Ten Women Venice have finally joined the blogging revolution! For those of you not familiar with us, we are a n artists' collective in Venice, California located on the ever-more trendy Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Ours is a diverse, eclectic group of 21 female artists who create everything from paintings to ceramics to art glass to hand-loomed bamboo scarves. And, of course, we create (and re-create) our gallery almost daily. We love being a part of an artists' community, and adore connecting with Venice locals who have frequented our shop for years as well as those who just peek in once in awhile or visit from out of town. If you love art and all things handmade, you will love our light-filled, creatively humming space.

Every month we feature a new window at the gallery, and this image is of our October "Day of the Dead" theme.

Ten Women Artists in DOMINO MAGAZINE!

Last month was also very significant as 3 of our artists -- Melissa Moss, Outi Harma and Cathy Nichols were selected as part of Domino Magazine Online's "Best of Nature Art from ETSY." That's 3 artists out of 15! Yay, Ten Women Venice -- we are so hip.

MAVIS LEAHY EXIBITS at HOLLYWOOD CEMETARY!

Toward the end of October, you can also catch up with Mavis Leahy at the Los Angeles Day of the Dead exhibit!

KRISTIN DUCHARME OFFERS GLASS FUSING CLASSES!

Also glass artist extraordinaire Kristin DuCharme and her company, Fireworks Studio, will be offering onsite workshops to teachers and parents so they can provide their students the opportunity to create a beautiful handmade gift. Projects offered include: fused glass sun-catchers; ornaments; and jewelry. Classroom visits are led by Kristin who provides everything needed for each student to create their own fused glass project. Designed to accommodate any classroom facility, the projects require only a basic table and chair setup. The cost of offering a glass fusing experience comes to roughly $15 per student. Each participant creates their own colorful glass collage. The completed collages are taken back to Firework Studio where technicians fire the projects in a special kiln, pack, label and return the finished pieces back to the customer.
