Holly Wach, Mignonne Featured Artist

We are so pleased to have the unique and feminine work of Holly Wach available at Mignonne!

Holly was born in St Louis, Missouri in 1971 and that is where the normal Mid-western upbringing ends. Her parents being restless souls moved around from town to town until settling in Stuart Florida. Her mom an artist and dad a storyteller created a household filled with creativity and tails of adventure. Her parents have now joined forces to craft a successful chain of children’s books. With the support of two such creative influences she couldn’t help dream of adventure and far away places.

Growing up in a quiet beach town supplied the perfect setting to sit back, dream and draw. After High school she was off. She traveled to Europe, South and Central America, Asia, and back. All the time she was filling journals with images and stories. She took a break from traveling to attend college at the University of North Florida. Where, she received her BFA in Painting. Then, she was off again until landing in New York City where she received her MFA in Painting at the New York Academy of Art. New York provided the opportunity to study under and view some of the most important figures in the contemporary art world. She has recently switched coasts to Oakland, California where she devotes all of her time to making art and exploring a new place.

We are featuring original works, prints and cards of images by Holly Wach. We have a selection from her "Ink Ladies" and "Lions" to choose from.

Her Ink Ladies images evoke another era of vintage erotica, tastefully rendered. The Ink Lions reflect the many sides of this magnificent 'king of the jungle'.

Stop by and check out these wonderful pieces for yourself.

Striking Art Piece by Millard Sheets, Collectible California Artist

Millard Sheets (1907 - 1989) was a California painter, muralist and teacher. He was an important figure in the Southern California art scene for over 60 years. Millard was born in Pomona, California.

Sheets employed a number of media ... including watercolor and oil and was a muralist in fresco and tile. By the early 1930s, he was on his way to national recognition as an American artist. He exhibited works in Paris, New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and many other U.S. cities. He was recognized as the leading figure and driving force behind the California Style watercolor movement.

Sheets was a wartime artist correspondent for Life magazine in 1943, 1944 and traveled to China, Burma and India. His worldwide travel assignments (also Turkey, Russia, Hawaii) influenced his art in many ways.

Sheets was director of art at Scripps College and Claremont Graduate School in Claremont, California. While in Southern California, he was influential in developing the art scene. He participated in Franklin Roosevelt's Public Works of Art program as a member of the committee that directed the program's regional activities.
