Illustrator who believes in the Transfomational Power of Art

noreply@blogger.com (Sharon Gill) — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 19:56:00 +0000

For those of you who saw 'Super Soul Sunday' on Sunday October 29th, 2013. There was a truly inspirational short film on the illustrator Katie Daisy. I love the way the film has been shot: It has this vintage vibe about it, very in keeping with the artists work. Katie Daisy brings a lot of light into this world with her work, to quote what she says: "I've always felt that the words I choose actually choose me." I have been following her work for some time now when a friend gifted me a print. Kudos to her as she helps other Etsy Artists find inspiration and hope in what they do!! Posting a few images of her work: happy, whimsical and magical.

Always follow and trust your heart...

Feeling so much Love & Gratitude!

Ethereal-Pastels on Paper

noreply@blogger.com (Sharon Gill) — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 00:26:00 +0000

A friend invited me to a gallery showing in Long Island City. I was mesmerized by the work of this artist "Donna Levinstone". At first I thought I was looking at photographs. On looking closer I was amazed to see these were pastel drawings on paper. The artistry is commendable and have to be seen in person, as the photographs don't do it justice.

Ashes and Snow

noreply@blogger.com (Sharon Gill) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:01:00 +0000

I was browsing through some images on Pinterest and came across the work of
Ashes and snow by Gregory Colbert. What I love is the great vision of this artist along
with the monochromatic prints. "The images depict a world that is without beginning or end, here or there, past or present".

Time for another post : I want to share about something that's been in the works for Spring 2012. It was time for a design change for the Sharon Gill NYC look. We went for happy, happy, joy, joy. Here is an image of the label we are using with a new color: Pink which adds a nice freshness. Whilst in the process we decided to create a hand tag with a Mantra that I have been working with and love! A nice way to empower women I hope!!

That 50's look

noreply@blogger.com (Sharon Gill) — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:42:00 +0000

I really started to sit back and notice how the 50's seem to be influencing fashion and movies. I went to see 'The Help" which I highly recommend from fashion to story to absolutely amazing characters. I love, love, love the dresses.
Then this week watched an episode of 'Mad Men' which is more about the early 60's. 'Banana Republic' did a whole collection of dresses titled 'Mad Men' this month.
But what I most wanted to post about is the Amazing collection by Prada for Spring 2012 which is again very 50's inspired. I love how she's used these vintage cars as a graphic print. Truly innovative. The collection has been reviewed as dazzling, refined, intricate and modest.
She's definitely given swimwear a whole new twist. Think: Hollywood icons of the 50's. 'Miuccia Prada' titled her Spring 2012 collection “Women and Car Engines". Image source WWD.

Frank Gehry

I was browsing through the Oct'07 issue of Domino, where they talk about Origami
& the term origami-tecture stood out. This building as featured done by Frank Gehry in Manhattan is home to Barry Diller’s media and Internet business ,a bold departure from Manhattan’s hard-edged corporate towers. The fluidity of form as always a trademark of Frank Gehry.-{image from New York Times }

Murals & Air Brushed Graffiti a la London

noreply@blogger.com (Sharon Gill) — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 14:36:00 +0000

Just wanted to post some interesting images of two locations in London. The first image is a wall mural just before entering 'Soho'. The second is a wall graffiti in Carnaby Street - a very edgy shopping side street, great place to browse around and get inspired.

Dale Chihuly

noreply@blogger.com (Sharon Gill) — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 21:20:00 +0000

For those of you familiar with 'Dale Chihuly'
His work is beyond beautiful. His usage of intense vibrant colors, sensitivity to architectural context and, his interest in the interplay of natural light on glass that exploits it's translucency and transparency are truly inspirational. The first image is an installation at the V&A- London.
