ORIGINAL ART & CURIOSITIES BY KATIE C. GUTIERREZ
A little sweet...a little creepy.

www.katiecgutierrez.com | Instagram @katiegutierrez

*** All orders over $35 ship for free in the U.S.! ***

My work tends to revolve around nostalgia, optimism and CHANGE – good, bad, or otherwise. I paint my feelings, and inspired by the things I worry, daydream, laugh and cry about, am comforted by and endure, from the silly to the downright traumatizing. I love the meditative and sensory experience of working with wax in all forms. Texture and depth are very important aspects of my work, and my work is typically created from a combination of encaustic, cold wax, ink, shellac, pigments, oils, and acrylic. My experience has been a mix of learning how to do things properly while simultaneously experimenting in practices that would most likely result in epic failure – and as a huge fan of “happy accidents,” something I have learned not to worry about.

Why "Curly Tails Studio," you might ask? Well, I have not made a piece of art within my home studio without the company of at least one pug dog since 2006. Seems right to give them some credit.

Can you say OMG?! I almost didn’t order for fear it would be cheap and too “costume-y”. So glad I took the chance. This is a fabulous statement dress in every way. Looks exactly as shown. The fabric is wonderfully soft, comfy and looks high quality. The craftsmanship is perfect. It fits beautifully and can be stylized in so many ways for various looks. An absolute show stopper!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Julie! I truly appreciate your support!
