SPOTLIGHT: RACEYTAY

I've been seeing her work for a while now and am inspired every time I see her photos. Raceytay "makes photographs" that take you into another world, one where the forest floor is covered with a blanket of red or where the sky is aglow with twinkling lights and a fairytale sliver moon. The pictures speak for themselves and I hope you find her work as inspiring as I do.

Etsy's Featured Seller Sandra Dieckmann, Amazing!

A good artist always has a back story, something that drove them to create; Sandra is no exception although her work is exceptional! While her art is reminiscent of southwestern native american art with her use of colors and lines, it has an imaginative element that reminds me of children's stories such as "The Mitten," one of my personal favorites. She hails from London, UK but originated from Germany, where she "walked across the rainbow, lived in the tops of evergreen trees and flew with the birds. I slept under a blanket of twinkling stars and swam in deep black lakes at night (or something like that)." All I know is that her work is inspiring and brought me back to my childhood, the best of it.
