A Painting Come to Life {for YOU Magazine}

I am so excited to share the pictures from our shoot for YOU Magazine's Arts and Entertainment Issue currently on coffee tables and newsstands all over town. For this feature, I selected 4 famous works of art and dug into them a bit, unearthing the outfit from the story, texture, color and movement of the composition. Boy oh boy, was this a fantastic project for me! I'm hoping that you'll be able to tell from this picture alone which work of art each lady represents. 

Vincent Van Gogh -  The Starry Night

"Our interpretation of "The Starry Night" comes to life as a star in the flesh, a radiant celestial being floating in shimmering silver lace and a cape that sparkles a deep midnight blue."

Frida Kahlo - Self Portrait

"Our Frida Kahlo wears a bold mix of pattern, color and texture and is accessorized with chunky jewelry while fresh flowers decorate her braids."

Andy Warhol - 10 Marilyns

"Our Marilyn wears a red hot dress highlighting her beautiful curves and drips in the brightest and most dazzling vintage jewels."

Maxfield Parrish - Sleeping Beauty in the Wood

 "Our Sleeping Beauty us swathed in the understated elegance of a Grecian-like gown, delicate flowers spilling from her bodice and a goddess-like crown on her head."

A huge thank you to Chelsey Drifka, Victoria Stencil, Indigo Stoney and Jillaine Sturdivant for bringing these looks to life so beautifully. You girls were amazing! Mwa! And a thank you to Painting Pottery in De Pere for the use of their delightful little alcove.
