Art Show at Seek Coffee

Art Show at Seek Coffee I have two paintings showing at Seek Coffee in Astoria, Queens this Saturday. They are available for purchase. I will also be selling embellished prints. Cassie of Euphoria by Amber Art Inspiration Photo from Euphoria I love the famous scene from the 2nd season of Euphoria. Cassie surrounded by flowers is so beautiful and almost religious. I wanted to capture the beautiful but sad moment. I wanted to give it an art nouveau feel.

The beautiful artist, Mab Graves every October has a 30-Day Halloween Project called, Drawlloween. On Day 21 in 2022 was the FrankenFriday prompt. I used the music from Young Frankenstein in my Instagram Reel, because that is one of my favorite childhood movies.
