River Luna

Bear Illustration - Animal Art Painting - Archival Print - 8x10 Rafi the Honey Bear
"I'm Marisa, the artist behind River Luna. My paintings are inspired by nature, space, culture, and my awesome 4 year old, River. He's pretty much one half of my work. Animal paintings are usually requested by him, and together we gather feathers, leaves, stones, and pretty twigs covered in moss which grace my painting table. If you'd like a peek in my studio, please take a look at my new 'about' page. If you’d like to see more of my process and other daily happenings you can check out my new blog. Thanks for visiting River Luna!"

three bad seeds

the Bear: Plush Wool Pillow
"we are three, three bad seeds -- a family adventure in handmade art and independent craft. we create quirky and functional graphic objects from discarded materials. we take thrifted wool and linen clothing... wash it/felt it... deconstruct it... then transform it into- plush animal pillows, appliqued pillow covers, coasters, banners, wall art... whatever floats our boat. we also hand embroider reusable produce bags. color, texture and simplicity drive our designs. amanda leads the charge...but the mister and the small one contribute often and with gusto."

bear hand painted on porcelain mug
"nice to meet you here! since 1979 I've been working as a ceramic restorer - then I started to paint new pieces in order to replace my customers' broken set of dishes and so on... I felt a little bored with sevres and meissen patterns, so I found out it could be nicer to draw and paint animals and bicycles rather than old days bunch of flowers: I hope you too will enjoy them."

erin's window

Celebration - Forest Series 1/4 - porcelain assemblage
"I am a Japanese living in Australia for a quite long time now. Mother of a 3 y.o. girl. I received B. Visual Arts(1st Class Hon) from University of Sydney majoring Object Art and Design in Ceramic Studio. I won a travel scholarship and studied in Germany as an exchange student in my 4th year. Later I studied Architecture but did not complete the degree. I have always been creating with hands yet I worked in a non-creative office environment for many many years. I now work with small children. Only recently I started to produce artworks to sell. It is such a big pleasure for me to be making art and connecting with other creative people around the world."
