Auction Featured Artist of the Day

Today we want to focus on someone who seems to specialize in big cats and the female form.

We received donations from the artist Briana Zierman-Felix. She used to have a studio on the first floor but moved up to the second so she could have more space, and everyone is lucky she moved. She has so many original paintings that moving to a bigger studio helped get everything she had seen. Her art is powerful and passionate and all of it evokes a feeling, what that feeling is will be up to the viewer of the art.

You can buy her art in her studio at Lowe Mill at 2005, or visit her website brianaziermanfelix.com.

Here is one of the items she has donated to our auction.

Auction Featured Artist of the Day

The artist for today is actually a group of sisters. They donated several different items to the medical fund auction, and their studio has so much great art to see that I highly suggest you go and see it.

Cre8tive Sistas Studio is located in the Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment building in studio 262 and 263 on the second floor. The “sistas” create art out of reused, recycled, and repurposed materials. What this means is that often you will not see the same art pieces and every piece will be unique. They also delve into a variety of genres, including one of my favorites – steampunk! You can check them out at their studio or head on over to their Facebook page – Cre8tiveSistas.

Here is one of the many pieces that they donated to our auction.

We have so many great artists and vendors that have donated to our online medical auction, so it is hard to choose who to feature in these daily posts! On the last day of the auction we will be posting a list of every artist who donated and their website or social media.

Today we want to shine a spotlight on Delta Dogwood Studio. Delta Dogwood Studio is located in the Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment Building, in studio 2047. Artist Stephanie Flier is the artist and all her prints are hand inked and printed, making them especially delightful.

Auction Featured Artist of the Day

Today we have another great artist who donated items for our medical fundraising auction!

Let us take the time to feature Chrome Addict. The artist behind Chrome Addict is Carrie Alderfer. She has been in Lowe Mill for several years but has had to make the decision to close her studio. What does this mean for you, as a consumer? It only means you are no longer able to view her work displayed in the studio, but she does still have a website and you can view her work there. She has a great variety of art, only some of it is cat related.

The Chrome Addict website is chromaddict.com

Below is just one of the pieces that Carrie donated to our auction, there are several more items so check them out!

Auction Featured Artists of the Day

Today, we want to introduce you to Cut A Rug Tufting Studio. The studio is located at the Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment building in wonderful Huntsville, Alabama, Studio 326, which is on the third floor. The artist, Brent, is a friendly, nice guy who was willing to donate two cat rugs to the Cattyshack Online Auction. He has rescued a dog and cat himself. His rescued cat was seen on the side of the road, after having been hit by a car, and lost one of his back legs due to the incident. The kitten has now grown to be a cat and gets around fine as a tripod! Brett also holds workshops, so you can learn to tuft your own unique rug. You can visit his website at cutarugtufting.com.

Here you can see one of the rugs that Brett of Cut A Rug has donated.

Aplin Artworks is another studio that donated to the auction. The studio is located at the Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment building, Studio 2000, which is on the second floor. The studio is run by Dennis and Patricia Aplin. They have a great studio with a lot of light, which is great because their work is stained and melded glass works. Their son also makes beautiful glass chessboards. They have lessons where you can learn to work with glass in a mosaic application. Check out their website at http://aplinartworks.net/
