I hope everyone's still having a Happy New Year! To properly kick off 2008, allow me to introduce you to the sixth sister of the Heart Suite. Her name is Indigo and she comes from somewhere in the Mediterranean.

The Holiday season has started, and I am happily working on new things. No artwork updates today, but I come bearing news:

1. I will be showing and selling my artwork during the Hollywood Art Walk at the Goddess Store this Saturday night, from 7 pm to 10 pm.

Have a spookylicious Halloween, everyone! Allow me to introduce you to my newest piece, "The Party Dress".

It is now available in 8x11 and 11x14 prints. I hope everyone has fun dressing up tomorrow, but don't eat too much candy! ;D

~September 1st, 2007 - PTH is One Year Old!

Cheers! Purpletophat.com is officially one year old today! To celebrate and start off our second year, here is Peony.

You can see the rest of her winged sisters on the notecards pages. ^_^

~June 19th, 2007

Summer is upon us and we have new stuff in the Shoppe today!

First, there are 4 new angel watercolor designs in the Cards section, under Note Cards. I'd originally intented to paint one piece for Valentine's Day, but ideas kept coming, resulting in the Heart Suite:


Second, another section has been opened for sketch prints. It wasn't until several people asked about my sketches that I realized I should probably put them up as well. And so I did. You can now find two of my favorite pieces in Sketches. Since they're black and white, they'll go for $10.00 apiece as opposed to $12.50.

The Links page has been updated as well. Check out the sites of artists Lost Goat and Lisa Victoria, as well as the Goddess Store and Enchanted Deva's myspace profile. I also have banners up if anyone wants to link to purpletophat.com.

My feature show at Enchanted Deva's is still ongoing! I had a wonderful time with my guests during opening night, and I'm sad to leave California before the show closes, but alas, home is calling me back. This doesn't mean you Californian visitors or residents cannot drop by for a visit. :D The show will only officially close on April 30th, so there's still time!

For those interested, once again, here is the show's info:

Enchanted Deva's
5050 Vineland Avenue
North Hollywood, CA 91601

Happy Holidays to all! The gallery has been turned into a Shoppe, and greeting cards are now available there!

I'm very happy with them. They're blank on the inside, and have been printed on a lovely textured, feather edged paper. Please go and see them!

~November 24th, 2006

So. Christmas is fast approaching (already...) and I will be adding a new item to the store very shortly: greeting cards! I started making them for the show last week, and seeing as people seem to really like them, I figured I'd make them available here as well. What do you think? No, really, don't be afraid to tell me what you think. :D

Also, click on the above picture to see a bigger version.

Speaking of my first show last saturday at the Goddess Store--I had a fabulous time and met tons of interesting folks. Here are some pictures:

~September 1st, 2006~

Website grand opening! We made it, oh yes we did! A huge thank you to my webmaster and partner in crime Trin, without whom none of this would have been possible. Or perhaps nowhere near quite so pretty. ^_^ Thank you also to all the friends who kindly provided time, feedback and constructive criticism. And last, but not least, thank you to all those who have visited the temporary webpage since June.

As of today:

  • The Gallery currently houses its first 4 pieces.
  • The Info and Artist pages are up and functional.
  • The shopping cart, or perhaps should I say "hat"?  is also in working order.


~Sometime in August 2006, exact date uncertain~

Have been abducted by aliens!!11 Hope to make it back by the 31st. Stay tuned!
