Miss Mindy - "Painted Ladies"
May 1 - 31, 2009
Miss Mindy has an affinity for past times, and loves to explore mood, expressions and bizarre humor. She mainly paints on wood, and creates dioramas and shadow boxes, in addition to fluid ink drawings and sketches. Her method evokes a vintage cartoon and folk art feel using rough brush strokes and several mediums.
Her stories involve girls and imps, fairies and troublemakers of a most endearing yet bizarre sort. Her narratives find leads in precarious and naughty little circumstances with other players helping along the tales of mishaps and silly shenanigans.
Miss Mindy was born into a family of artists and designers who have been an inspiration. Her grandmother worked as an inker and painter at Disney in the 1930s. Her other side of the family were illustrators, muralists and puppeteers, as is her artist sister CJ Metzger, who has been a collaborator and muse.
In addition to her fine art, Miss Mindy is an accomplished illustrator, character and product designer for such clients as Hard Rock Cafe, House of Blues, Zippo, Warner Brothers, and (currently) Nickelodeon Animation.
Miss Mindy has written and illustrated two books with Baby Tattoo Books Publishing. The first being, “Artists Sisters: Box of Stories,” and the second, “Miss Mindy’s Sassy Paper Doll Bonanza,” will debut at the La Luz de Jesus Gallery this month. She has currently designed her own vinyl toy, named “DINK” with Kaching Brands/Mindstyle toys, and has participated in various art shows around the globe. Her artwork can be found in private collections throughout the United States and abroad.
