About me...the one woman show...more or less...

P. Ellen Brooks
Oso Azul Design. I am an artist. I started with crayons at the age of 3 years old and have since tried many different mediums/techniques.
Currently I am focusing on illustration with pen, pencil and marker, as well as acrylic and watercolor painting. I also love to create mosaics with vitreous glass tiles and/or broken stained glass.
For the future I am looking to explore combing metalwork and clay to create sculptures. Awww what the heck, maybe I'll throw a few mosaic tiles on there too!
el brooks photography. I am a photographer. I started taking photos in earnest during high school. Lucky enough to borrow a nice SLR camera from a friend's dad. It is an utter addiction I think! You find something interesting and want to capture it in a photograph. I am drawn to nature, animals, vivid colors and black & white.
Currently I am shooting food, editorials, animals, nature and urban photos mostly.
For the future I hope to focus on pet photography as well everything else I love to shoot.
Marge & Vina. I am a crafty gal. Well, they start us out young on arts and crafts in school! I just didn't stop once I left elementary school. So there.
Currently I have been focusing on recycling / upcycling items that would normally be added to a landfill. For example, I sold a few magazine bowls which were made entirely from either a discarded phonebook or magazine. Sometimes I also paint them, sometimes I don't.
For the future I would like to get some vegan-friendly lip balms and soaps into the Marge & Vina shop. Hand-crafty goodness!
