A Favorite Artist: Lorena Barrezueta

I don't do this often enough, and I really should. There are so many fantastic independent artists in the world that I love, and I want to tell you all about them so that you can love them too, and so that the love can be passed along.

I've had her Etsy shop on my favorites list for quite a while now, and when I went to visit it today it was only stocked with seconds and samples. That's totally cool though, because I was prompted to visit her website, and was floored by all of the styles she's creating. What i really love is that all of her porcelain pieces are made to resemble dishes and packaging that we would normally use once and throw away. I don't know exactly where her head's at, but I assume that somewhere in there is a statement about our society and waste. Also there is maybe one about our society and it's "fast-food" mentality. Even if there isn't, that's what I get out of it, and I totally appreciate it.

So, head to her site and check out these awesome dishes. While you're at it, you can see her jewelry as well.
