Art by Lady Z

Susan Bagrationoff is a professional surrealist whose body of work focuses on mythology and mysterious creatures. Susan M. Susan is a native Floridian.

Faeries and folklore are the subjects of her creations using the beauty of nature within the Pacific Northwest for realistic reference. Bagrationoff (Lady Z) is an ethereal artist living in Fort Myers, Florida. Her subject matter of choice for her paintings are ethereal creatures such as angels and other ghost-like figures. Much of Susan's recent works have incorporated the concepts of the energy

of the soul within plants, animals and human beings. Her latest bodies of work include The Runes Stones (her latest), Tarot Cards, and the Chakras . Born and raised in Miami, she is still one of the palest people in town! Susan's favorite music type is gothic/industrial and she often attends clubs that spin such music on Wednesday nights. This type of music inspires her since the themes of many of the songs relate to mysterious and often magickal subjects. Susan also adore New Age music for the same reason.

Renton Art Walk did not disappoint! Thank you to all of my friends who met up with me at Boon Boona Coffee to start our Art Walk around downtown Renton. After we basked in the gaze of my surreal creations, we made our way to many stops along the Art Walk. There were many talented artists, and I even reconnected with a few old artsy acquaintances.

Missed seeing my works at the Renton Art Walk? No worries! My mixed media paintings will be up at Boon Boona Coffee for the next month. Grab an exotic coffee or an iced chai (they are DELICIOUS) and experience my large pieces as you sip on your beverage.

The next Renton Art Walk is scheduled for July 17th. I hope to see you during the next event!

PROGRESS POST: This beauty sure is painting herself onto my canvas! Her large leafy wings have been conjured using some finger painting to give a very smooth look to them. A palette knife was utilized to craft the texture of the fluffy blooms of the rhododendron-inspired hair. I am starting to work on the "crown" of this dryad queen using an impressionistic technique. Her skin tone is next, so stay tuned for her completion rather soonish.

Thank you for taking the time to read about the progress of this piece!💜

VIDEO PROGRESS POST : Here's a short video highlighting the progress of this jovial dryad currently being conjured onto my canvas! I have to say that I am having too much fun creating the various textures in this rhododendron-inspired piece. I have been playing with unique brush strokes, palette knife techniques and even some finger painting so far.

I hope you enjoy this short video progress post! 💜

PROGRESS POST : That bark-like texture of the background is LUSCIOUS! I am totally in love with how the impressionistic technique conjured the desired effect in the background of this jovial dryad. Her long, leafy wings are beginning to grow their color with the use of a palette knife. Stay tuned as there will be another progress post rather soonish!

Thank you for taking the time to check out this progress post. 💜

USPS LOST MY ARTWORK! Remember last week when I posted how thrilled I was that I had artwork heading to Chicago?! Well....they never made it. In fact, I am not really sure where they went. USPS doesn't have a clue.

To my artist friends curious about shipping artwork: this is the first time my package was actually 'lost'. I do not ever ship with this carrier (USPS)....and *THIS* is why. Don't be afraid to ship artwork, just be aware of the reliability of the carrier in that area.

Good luck and may the odds forever be in your favor!

PROGRESS POST : Feeling that energetic vibe from this one?!? Now that the under painting has been applied, the character of this beauty emerges. The bark-inspired background is *just* getting started, so stay tuned for another progress post soonish.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. 💜
