I am so thrilled to share with you some photos from the "Gifts Of My Hands" show.  Nici Shipway, who ran the entire event, is truly a talented woman.  Not only did the event go off without a hitch, she also managed to bring together a group of remarkably talented artisans and artists.  Everyone at the event, both vendors and patrons, were kind and supportive. I feel so honoured to have been a part of this show and look forward to seeing Nici and her lovely family again.

The biggest highlight of the event was selling my beautiful new piece "Marilyn In Abstract".  A blog post about this new piece will be coming out within the next few days so please stay tuned!

Please continue for more photos of the event!

Incredible Shadow Profiles




As you all know, I am a lover of faces! So it is no wonder that I am completely in awe of this artist Kumi Yamashita's series that was commissioned by American Express.  Isn't it lovely how the artist has formed all of these unique profiles using a small piece of paper and the power of shadow?

“Modern Warrior Beauty” was inspired by the fierceness found in all women. Some women feel the warrior inside of them and choose to depict this part of their personality on their skin. Tattoo culture is something that has always fascinated me as I too have tattoos. I truly believe that tattoos can be a way of expressing your inner soul and that is what I tried to portray in this stunning bamboo painting.

My personal inner warrior woman was fostered throughout my childhood and teen life as I was a huge fan (and still am) of Xena Warrior Princess. Aspects of this can be seen in the painting as the tattoo depicts a breast plate and breast dagger similar to that of Xena. Also, her unique earring/ear plug is designed liked Xena’s legendary chakram.
 
***This oil painting was created specially to be in the December issue of Missy Ink Magazine!

Malinda Prud'homme @ EHP's Christmas Arts & Crafts Show




I had a really lovely day yesterday (November 24, 2012) at EHP's Christmas Arts & Crafts Show.  It was spent exhibiting and selling my Mixed Media Art Creations to those in the Roncesvalles community and beyond. 

The first highlight of the day was seeing my friend Linda Emery.  We used to work together at Mitchell Sandham Insurance (before I became a full time artist) and she was always a huge supporter of my art career.  We hadn't seen each other in almost a year and I was very touched that she had taken the time to come and show her support. 

The second highlight of the day was meeting Ashley Sirianni. My friend Jon King had introduced her to my work and when she came to the show her reaction to every piece I had exhibited made me smile so much my face hurt.  She really connected, not only with the imagery, but with the meaning behind the works as well.  I am excited and proud to announce that she purchased my original mixed media artwork "What is Beauty?" (seen on the bottom right hand corner in the image above).  This transaction marks the very first original artwork sale I made at a show.  Needless to say, I was truly ecstatic.

Please continue for more photos of the event. :)



My original set up first thing in the morning.


My double sided grid wall. Outer wall.


Inner wall.


Some vendors setting up and early morning shoppers.
Isn't the EHP United Church absolutely beautiful!?


My second set up design.  We felt this allowed more light to
flow over my work.  The church was rather dark (hence the
awful photo quality).


"As It Comes..." is still one of my favourites! Containing 16
different mediums from my travels around the world. :)


My brand new card rack!  It was quite the
investment but doesn't it look great?


The beautiful EHP Church and our lovely patrons. :)


SOLD!  My very first original artwork that sold at a sale!


A very proud artist with her newest patron
Ashley Sirianni!


"What is Beauty?" A beautiful original
artwork purchased by a beautiful woman.


Thank you so very much Ashley!  I am so
honoured that you connected with my work.
I hope it brings beauty and joy to your home. :)

Something very exciting happened in the month of November!  I was approved for a half page spot in the upcoming December issue of Missy Ink Magazine

Best of all, I am able to except VISA, Mastercard, and American Express.

Canvas Prints
 
 
Bring your favourite Malinda Prud'homme artwork to life with the texture and depth of a stretched canvas print. The image gets printed onto a premium canvas and then stretched on a wooden frame of 1.5" x 1.5" stretcher bars (gallery wrap) or 5/8" x 5/8" stretcher bars (museum wrap). All stretched canvases ship within 2 - 3 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with pre-attached hanging wire, mounting hooks, and nails.
 
Stretched canvas prints look beautiful with or without frames
 
Fine Art America is one of the largest, most-respected giclee printing companies in the world with over 40 years of experience producing museum-quality prints. All of their prints are produced on state-of-the-art, professional-grade Epson printers. They use acid-free papers and canvases with archival inks to guarantee that your prints last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
 
 
Acrylic Prints
 
 
Bring your favourite Malinda Prud'homme artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print.   The image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
 
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
 
All acrylic prints ship within 2 - 3 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts or hanging wire.

Metal Prints
 
 
Bring your favourite Malinda Prud'homme artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of a metal print.   The image gets printed directly onto a sheet of 1/16" thick aluminum.
 
The aluminum sheet is offset from the wall by a 3/4" thick wooden frame which is attached to the back. The wooden frame includes a hanging wire for easy mounting on your wall.
 
All metal prints ship within 2 - 3 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with mounting hooks and nails.
 
Metal prints are extremely durable. They're lightweight. They won't bend, and they're water resistant.
 
The high gloss of the aluminum sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
