[Insert dramatic music and sounds of thunderstorm] It was a cold and rainy December evening in the Pacific Northwest. The fire had long burnt out and it was into the wee hours of the morning that Noelle furiously painted on her canvases. And so it came to be that on this night the Artimals were born. Perhaps it was the dreariness of the eternal gray winter that was responsible for such an insane explosion of colors or maybe it was something else...we will never know really and you must ask yourself, do you really want to know? [end dramatic music with loud clanging sounds and eerie overtones][One more thing, once painting is finished, perhaps also add a metaphorical pink bog monster withdrawing its long tentacle-like arms from Noelle's psyche] Noelle originally studied classical oil painting and her original dream was to paint like the Old Masters. She achieved success in this genre, however, Noelle's offbeat sense of humor and love for all things quirky came through her art strong and was not to be stifled. As time went on and Noelle "matured" (this isn't true but we can't really think of a better word) her work evolved into her own unique whimsical style. Often the titles of the painting make them even more humorous and both parents & children of all ages enjoy the bold colors and whimsical nature of her paintings. Her animals have their own personalities, histories and stories and eventually Noelle plans to write and illustrate a childrens book. Noelle now paints full time. What keeps her going, is that her art makes people happy. Noelle says "So many people tell me that my art makes them feel good inside. I feel to make someone feel good inside means more than anything in this crazy world. To surround ourselves with art that makes us happy can have a powerful impact on our moods and therefore our lives." By the way, a portion of all sales are donated to animal organizations and non-profit organizations. Your generous support of Noelle's art allows her to share with others who need it! Noelle lives in Oregon where she can be found spending time reading, mountain biking, traveling, hiking, drawing, painting, watching movies, playing with animals, and looking for new ways to challenge herself.
