Featured Etsy Artist ~ Indigoluna




This morning my featured etsy artist is Indigoluna. This woman does some AMAZING work!
You can check it out for yourself at her shop or you can also read her blog.

Here is a bit about her, taken from her etsy profile.

"I have always been an artist. I have always drawn, cut, pasted, painted, collected, sewn, written and dreamed. I have been driven by the question, “What if?” (and fighting against its archenemy, “That won’t work!”)

I also wear many other hats. Among other things, I am a sign language interpreter, an energy worker, a minister, a blogger, a wife to a wonderful and creative man, and a mother to two wild and amazing little girls. All of these roles shape and change and inform my art.

I am a 5th generation Oregonian. This lush and verdant environment is in my blood. I grew up in a valley surrounded by tree-covered hills and blessed with a great deal of rain. I memorized the names of flowers as a child. I picked basketsful of mushrooms in the damp woods and studied moss and built forts inside of blackberry thickets. After traveling the United States, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

My work has appeared on the cover of the 2005 Quilting Arts Calender, in Artella Magazine, Art/Quilt Magazine, Fiberarts Design Book 6, as well as many juried shows."

I went through and picked out some of my personal favorites from her shop, but there is such a wide variety. I would think anyone who entered her shop would be sure to find something. What an amazing artist!

I enjoyed reading this story about how her art was shaped by her environment.
