Liza Corbett‘s beautiful watercolors and whispery, precise linework, which seem to have a kind of soft translucency, depicting maidens of yore and mythology, entangled with animals, nature, their own hair, are displaying alongside Jeremy Hush‘s breathtaking work at Loved to Death’s Articulated Gallery (’til the 29th of September).

Also be sure to check out her Etsy shop for original artwork and gorgeous art dolls!


I picked up this beauty, Emmeline’s Ghost, from Liza Corbett’s Etsy shop!

Reminiscent of both Edward Gorey and Gustav Klimt, her works have an oddball, morbid sense of playfulness, and loose, childlike, highly stylized and expressive figures in surreal, flattened landscapes. Her use of color is bold, sophisticated, and brilliant. Drawing from the Victorian era and the stuff of fairy tales, and sometimes depicting women from the middle of the 20th century, Riikka’s paintings constantly subvert conventions and sexual mores in a quirky, ironic, frank, and personal way. Her style has a wide range and has evolved over time; the constant is that it is refreshingly different and exudes individuality.

These videos contrast industrial, futuristic, black and sterile environments with the soft beauty and grace of the subjects, and historically inspired fashions.
