Monday Meet and Greet the Members of the Pacific Postcards Team - GingerKellyStudio

Our Meet and Greet the Pacific Postcards Team member is Lauren Kelly Small owner of Etsy shop, Ginger KellyStudio.  Laura's shop is absolutely stunning; her art work draws you in and you will find yourself on a mystical journey through haunted woods and magical meadows.  I love her artwork and find just captivating.  Best of all is that she uses her art to create postcards, what could be better than receiving a card that lets your mind wander into a fantasy.  Here are some of my favorites:

From Lauren's Profile:

"I'm Lauren. Graphic Artist, Illustrator and Fashion designer from Upper Orara on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Australia.

I'm known as Ginger Kelly or Ginger Kelly Studio on many art forums online. I love to make things. I'm inspired by dreams, folk tales, mythology and places I've visited & fallen in love with. I read traditional fairy tales from around the world and children's storybooks. I admire Pre-Raphaelite art and vintage photography.

Sometimes I am asked what I do with my spare time. The truth is, I fill every hour of every day painting and drawing as well as making jewelry and designing and sewing clothes so I don't often have 'spare' time!

It is my dream to one day have my own cottage and art studio with a stable and field for my horses that comes right up to my studio window. To be able to support & express myself through my artwork and design is my ideal existence and I hope to make this dream a possibility by sharing my artwork and imagination with you.

Please visit my website for more information and to view my artwork portfolio

xxx Lauren

ABOUT MY ARTWORK

I use many mediums in my artwork, though I prefer to work in pencil or using digital painting and digital photo collage techniques.
Many of the artworks in my gallery are photo manipulations/collages using my own photography and/or royalty free stock images generously provided for use by the photographers/models.

♦ Prints are professionally printed on high quality 160-210gsm Matte or Satin finish paper, ready for framing

♦ Size vary from small postcards to large A3 posters. All prints have a thin white border for easy framing. Border-less printing is available, please send me a message if interested

♦ All prints are reproduced exactly as intended. Please be aware that images may appear darker on some types of computer monitors.

I hope you enjoy my shop gingerkellystudio.etsy.com"

I must say that I wish I could go to Lauren's lands of misty forests and swim with her mermaids. She has truly drawn me into her art.  Here are some more of her magic fantasies:

Here is a bit more about Lavennz Ooi from her Profile on Etsy:
"My name is Lavennz Ooi Sin Yee. I am 26 years old and I born in a beautiful island, Penang island of Malaysia. In case you did not know, Malaysia is a country between Thailand and Singapore, where the average daytime temperatures are around 27°C and we have rain drops whole year.
I just finished my bachelor degree of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and planning to work as a full time engineer and a part time artist. I am a part-time self-taught artist, working hard for my dream career, independence artist.

LavennzOsy is my first online art shop, selling my painting, illustration, handicrafts and merchandise. Every creation of in LavennzOsy reflecting the stories of my life and inspiration from everything surrounded me. The only artist and owner of this shop is me; however, there are some people behind who always give me great ideas and supports, they are my friend, Sean Lee and my parents.

My original paintings are hand painted and all the art prints produced by myself in my room. Besides the arts, I make the merchandise of my art works myself as well; e.g. jewelries, note cards and bookmarks. It is meaningful and important to produce and sell my work to my customers who appreciate my arts, without involvement of intermediary.

Besides than painting, I compose songs, writing novels, reading, go for movies and I love fashion too. I have many wonderful hobbies and I just wish that I could have more time for them. I enjoy traveling too but I really need more budget to go oversea! I love natural and ocean maybe it is because I was born and raised on island. Other things I like are architecture, design and photography."
