No need for introductions, really. The art speaks for itself. However, since I'm gregarious, allow me to expound: Cole + Josephine is the brainchild of Nicole Sharp. She's a self-taught artist, and her work is both visceral and intelligent, with a hint of "Wordsworthian" whimsy. Every piece is like a stream-of-consciousness, as if a floating thought was captured mid-flight, which is manifested in the title of her works. I've included some of my favorite pieces below, but you can see more of her wondrous artwork on her blog or in her shop.

ReplyDeleteawesome feature! I really love her art.
ReplyDeleteCreative stuff over there. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteStop! You're making me blush! This is the nicest thing; thank you so much for featuring on your blog. I am very flattered.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry. I'll stop painting when you stop writing. Which will be never, because even if no one is paying attention, we still have to do it because it is part of us!
Wow! Thanks for the introduction!! I love her drawings, there is something so Parisian about them, also playful and simple. That drawing of the shoe makes me want to go shopping ..... :)
