New Moon Workshop is here to share LOVE and SPARKLE.
Project Description
New Moon Workshop is the brainchild of Mixed Media Artist Livie Ava Byrd.
Art has been my way to decorate my world. I believe in always taking time to make something beautiful, because one day it will make someone, somewhere, happy. Art Nouveau and Barococo are my favorite styles. If it were up to me, I would gild all the lilies and add some glitter too. Part of my heart and mind is in every piece I create.
Music heavily influences my work. My portfolio includes paintings that bring to life the song lyrics of some of my favorite artists including Roxy Music, Nick Cave and Bob Dylan. These are my Nouveau Influenced Pop Art Pieces. My 3D flower pieces further visually express my passion towards and love of music. Those pieces incorporate physical flowers, guitar picks, and speakers. In a different vein are my calls for revolution pieces.
Funding will go to the following:
One of my goals is to be able to make prints of my pieces to sell. To get high quality images for my prints, I will need to have my pieces precisely scanned at high resolutions and then have a print shop produce the prints for me. Funding will go towards the upfront costs of getting prints made.
Right now I do not have a studio. Whenever I work on pieces, they completely take over my small apartment, and sometimes I have access to a garage that I can work in. Being able to rent studio space (or a living space that includes studio space) would have a huge positive impact on my productivity as an artist. Funding will also support more pieces being made by paying for supplies including brushes, acrylic paint, oil paint, gel mediums, guitar picks, canvases, flower, and more!
I also do freelance graphic design, web design, and motion graphics. The computer that I use is several years old. In order to keep working, I will need to replace it with a newer model and upgrade my software soon.
In addition to my Mixed Media work, I also work in digital mediums, costume design, production design, and I have recently begun to teach myself photography. To see more of my work, please check out my portfolio at newmoonworkshop.com.
