'Drawn to You' Art Exhibit opening this Friday

'Drawn to You' is an art exhibit curated by Amandalynn, which highlights collaborations and solo expressions in fine art, photography, modelling, sculpture, and everything that happens in between.


The show opens this Friday, October 4th, 2013 from 6-10pm at Wonderland Gallery in San Francisco, CA.  Featured artists include: Amandalynn, Lady Mags, Bethany Pifer, Megan Shaffer, Henry Alfonso Navarro, Lucien Shapiro, and Robert Bowen


The inspiration for this exhibition began almost a year ago, when Amandalynn was introduced to Bethany Pifer at an art opening at Wonderland Gallery. Amanda knew right away that Bethany would be an amazing subject of inspiration for future paintings. Bethany, already a professional model, invited Amanda to collaborate on a new photoshoot with Henry Navarro. The concept was to create illustrated props, melding the ideas of photography and illustration into one final piece.


The first collaboration between photograhper, model, and artist went so well that the team decided to create an entire exhibition around the idea, including another shoot and more artists. For the second photoshoot, Amandalynn invited her painting partner, Lady Mags, to assist in the props and design. Mags brought a new fine art touch to the collaboration with her signature watercolor patterns.


'Drawn to You' is an exhibition unique in it's collaborative and artistic expressions. Creating this new work has been an incredibly inspiring experience. A special thanks to everyone assisting on this project, including our extremely talented hair and makeup artists : Sofie Lynn , Jessica Carlisle Lee , Karafina , and Suzy Tamimi .

'Drawn to You'

This year has definitely been an inspiring one for me. I have met, and gotten the opportunity to work with so many talented people. One project that I am currently working on is an art exhibition based on a series of photographs and art pieces designed for the photo shoots. We are calling the whole production 'Drawn to You'.

photo:  Henry Navarro
model: Bethany Pifer

Our stunning model, Bethany Pifer , was the one who came up with the idea to use my illustrations as props for a photoshoot with the very talented Henry Alfonso Navarro . We had an incredible team of makeup and hair artists as well. This first shoot set the stage and inspiration for what is sure to be an incredible exhibit.

 Lady Mags painting final touches on Watercolor Lace


The exhibit will be held at Wonderland Gallery in San Francisco this coming October 2013.  Lady Mags is now teaming up with us and bringing some of her abstract watercolor flavor to the next photoshoot. We will be displaying photos, props, and some original fine art pieces inspired by the theme.
