Violet Rain


One of the dreams I have on my "what-would-I-do-if-I-won-the-lottery" days is to open my own art gallery supporting emerging artists. Until my numbers come up, there is Etsy. And actually, I think even if you had all the moeny in the world, it's more fun to collect REAL art from talented young artists who aren't well known than walk into an art gallery and have someone tell you why you should buy something that's already acknowledged as a masterpiece.

My latest discovery is Natasha Newton. She's hardly undiscovered talent (with several solo exhibitions under her belt she's got a show coming up in Dartmouth), but her work is unique and affordable. You can't have the 'Violet Rain' above though, 'cos I've already bought it :)
