Happy Halloween Peeps!

A late night greeting with some holiday inspired photos! We celebrated Halloween by visiting an old cemetery on this beautiful foggy day.  The whole experience was nostalgic, eerie, contemplative and fun… all the things that Halloween should be.

This shoot evokes the vibe one of my personal favorite paintings, SUNNY DAY, created back in 2011. The rawness of the painting and the catharsis I experienced while creating it made it such a personal work for me that I decided I can NEVER sell it;  it’s just too close to my heart.

This Aimee Kestenberg handbag matches the painting brilliantly right?!?!! This was such a fun outfit to style as Goth is such a fun style for me and Halloween gives me that perfect excuse to push the envelope.

Painting created first, circa 2011, the outfit was inspired second.

Happy Halloween Friends!!!!
