WTF? THE LITTLE EXPO OF BIZARRE ALBUM ART

Featured artist of the month : Nada Ahmed

Egypt - Via Marseille

Nada is an Egyptian poet and an inspiring Doodle artist living in France. Her writings and art seeks to document the daily endeavors of escaping the capitalistic reality and resorting to naturalism. Nada holds a Bachelor degree in English Literature & Linguistics, and has published two poetry collections. We met through our dear friend Rania in Paris last year and while enjoying al fresco picnics at Place des Vosges and Bois de Vincennes we were inspired by her story, her purpose and true artistic aura.

January artist: Danielle Madding

Buffalo, New York

It was the obvious thing for us to start our monthly artist feature with someone from a place we lived in for so long where we began thinking about the idea of the store and gallery and a city we love. Danielle Madding is a 28 year old female artist from Buffalo, NY. Since she was a toddler she new she wanted to be an artist. She has already developed her signature style about 3 years ago while drawing in a local coffee shop and her art has really taken off from there. She is very much drawn to primary colors because in her words “they are essential to creating a great range of colors”

“ My art is an extension of myself and I hope it engages the viewer and inspires them. I brings me joy creating it and I want to share it with others”

We’re so happy to introduce Danielle to you and hope you find her art as inspiring as we do.

I sat down virtually with Danielle to get a little more in depth with her process and what inspires her.

WORKSHOPS

We are passionate about music and we believe that art and music can inspire each other, and the more you experience a combination of the arts the more you understand the world and humanity. These workshops are aimed to expand people’s knowledge and appreciation music and inspire them not only to listen to more of it but also help them express themselves better because of it, through various mediums (painting, collage, watercolor, etc). We are working hard to put together fun and inspiring workshops for kids and teens every few months in our future location in the beautiful department of Yonne, in Burgundy, France.

We welcome any suggestions and ideas for new workshops you’d like us to offer.
