Hover
Wow ~ two great art-making weekends in a row. I can hardly believe it. ;)
I’m so happy when I get to spend some time at home working on art and relaxing – something I need to make more of a priority in my life. Lets face it – our time is precious and if we don’t give a little time to ourselves, then what is the point? Happiness comes in a lot of different forms and maybe spending time alone isn’t for everybody, but for me its a blessing.

( i look at this one and i see myself. i know that sounds weird, but it feels like somewhat of a reflection. )
Fashion Graffiti Creations
Spent a few hours today working on some drawings and I’m happy to say I have something to show for it. View the rest of the images I uploaded to Flickr by clicking the image below and let me know what you think. :)
Dona la vita
Deborah Kaye Haines is coming up on her 5 year anniversary for her pancreatic + kidney transplants and her daughter Meredith (a friend of mine from high school) lovingly wanted to dedicate a piece of art to her mother and her courageous story! Congrats Deb and a big thank you goes out to her donor Patrick for his life-saving donation! It’s truly amazing that perfect strangers have the compassion and love in their hearts to give their precious organs to those in need. It’s so inspiring!
Dona la vita: Donate Life. Be an organ donor and be a hero to those in need!

Touch Me All Over
This piece, like all of my mixed media pieces, are made on these clayboard mounted boxes and are one of a kind. This one is square (12″ x 12″ x 2″) – called, “Touch Me All Over” and the art actually wraps around the edges for a more 3D type look. The surface is covered with an acrylic sealant for added protection. It is also notched in the back for easy hanging on a nail or screw. :)
I hope this one goes to someone bold + sexy. Rawr. Buy it now on Etsy >>

Growing Up CAD 2008!
I’m very excited for tonight’s fundraiser at Chicago Art Department – CAD turns 5 years old tonight! From 6PM-10PM at 1837 S. Halsted, Chicago, IL (google map) – there will be a live auction of 35 artist’s work (including mine), door prizes, a live band, food and drinks. It’s going to be a blast and I’m glad some peeps from Orbit will be able to make it. :) I donated a large collage/drawing to help raise money for their cause. The ultimate goal of CAD is to foster careers of blossoming artists and cultivate a welcome and unpretentious atmosphere to work and interact in. I love the people there and I hope we’re always friends. Come join me tonight and get inspired and have some fun. :)
Scene 360 – Featured “Goodie” :)
Today Scene 360 featured my video “It’s All Under Control” from my MFA on their online magazine. Here’s what they wrote:
“Jul 01, 2008 - Posted by Scene360 Team, 360’s Video Selection: “It’s All Under Control” by Shellie Fiocca. This is an interesting video that captures the painting technique and process of the artist. The background music was certainly well chosen for the footage. You can view video on our front page or video channel.”
I am one of the “Extra Goodies” at the bottom of the page. Pretty cool. They are an online film and arts magazine. A quarterly publication, which profiles and interviews artists, web designers, filmmakers and poets with a focus on their career and analysis of the driving forces behind their work.
