Dance of the Spirit Flowers, Acrylic. Just down the road from my house is a field of flower. Though most of the year they are dried up and dead the spirit of these flowers must have worked their way into my inspiration. It wasn’t until I had painted this that I noticed the similarity between these flowers and the ones I pass almost daily.

Ethnic Dolls, Oil Painting by Trish Vernazza

My Ethnic Dolls are ones that you won’t find on the shelves of Walmart! A few years ago I received these Muslim styled dolls from a person who knew I appreciated art, crafts and collected interesting dolls. They sat on my art shelf for years staring at me in their plastic boxes. I had never taken the dolls out of their boxes, until a friend and I decided to see the fabrics up close. What a surprise. They were plastic, molded old styled Barbie Dolls, with Yellow Blonde hair, hand painted kookie styled blue eyes, wrapped in these beautiful fabrics. All held together by old rusty pins. I realized how precious they were. Thus began my 6 month process of painting my dolls to come to life.

This artwork was featured/displayed at Mirrors of Mind, Los Angeles, Ca, Psychotherapists as an Artist, 2016.

Unframed Heavy Duty Cradled Canvas 48″hx 30″Lx1 1.5 D”. If you are a local buyer, please contact me to decrease shipping/delivery cost. Please contact me for shipping and delivery costs.

Trish and her Artistic Aprons

 

 

          Trish began sewing at a very young age in the sun parlor of her grandmother and her lady friends in Tampa, Florida.  Her grandmother operated a local boarding home on the corner of the Famous Bayshore Blvd,  that even had  a wishing well and a flower garden.  The women would discuss local news, politics, religion, books, education, community interests while embroidering, sewing, knitting, tatting, making baskets, painting both acrylic and watercolors, while someone was always playing the piano and break into song.  Everyone wore the most beautiful aprons to cover their day dresses, as a southern woman, was always in decor in case guest stopped by.   Thus the beginning of her creative clothing.

Trish had won numerous and prestigious sewing awards for her creations:  American Sewing Guild, San Diego Fair, Cover of Apron.olgy Magazine 2013, Stampington & Company, featured in 4 Apronology magazines, Home Magazine all for her aprons.  Her Couture Clothing  & Jewelry has been displayed and featured in fashion shows, Published in Altered Couture,  Belle Amoire, , Belle Amoire Jewelry and Sew Sommerset.

All of Trish’s aprons are one of a kind, individually and hand designed and sewn.

I created this  reversible house dress in memories of my grandmothers who taught me how to sew.  They often donned these beautiful house dresses to cover their day dresses, just in case company would  just stop by to visit,  they would appear graciously beautiful and coiffed.  I used an old vintage retro pattern combine the pink embellished material with a black/pink material, making it reversible in case you spilled something on the front.  Fabric and lace was found in vintage material warehouse in San Fransico in the bedding department.  Of course, I had other ideas!

Southern Bell -Featured in Apronology Magazine 2014, 2nd place San Diego Fair 2014

My inspiration came from the Antebellum period when women wore hop skirs, corsets, pantalets, gloves and wide-brimmed hats.  Growing up reading and watching the Movie:  Gone with the Wind, I was inspired by Scarlett O’Hara’s use of her curtains to make her dress to meet Rhett Butler.  I thought, she should have had a fancy apron, in case he came by while she was in the kitchen!   3 tier flirty 1/2 apron with biased tape with unusual stitching made this apron a delightful fancy.
