5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this Polar-Bear-with-Seashells artwork! I bought a set of cards that included it and then bought this brooch to use as a Christmas Tree ornament. (I have a very eclectic tree and this wonderful Polar Bear will fit right in!)
Thank you thank you to the artist who captured my heart! It will be a beloved family ornament for years to come.
The item arrived on time and in perfect condition. I highly recommend this shop. -

I love a cluttered studio but I know where everything is and given it's small size, everything is in easy reach!
Unusual Artwork for the Discerning Eccentric
Curious Portraits is a portrait treasury of all the things that filled me with wonder as a child and continue to fire my imagination. Anthropomorphic and Victorian animals, Gothic portraits and Retro food icons. These portraits are steeped in nostalgia and represent my idea of an ideal world in which animals wear clothing and puppets, Victorian skeletons and giant peanuts co-exist!
All the items in this shop are created from these original portraits and are handmade by me with care.
My studio is nestled in the West Village of Manhattan and shared with my faithful companion Astro who is a constant source of inspiration and joy.
You might also enjoy my satellite shop, Curious Print & Pattern which features whimsical retro cross-stitch charts, prints, cards, ornaments and coasters that reflect my love of surface design and vintage illustration.

International orders please note that tracking is only valid until it leaves the U.S after which you will need to check in with your local post office.
