Natalie Elizabeth

Remember when I made the mobile for my aunt a few weeks ago? Well this morning at 11:12 a.m. we welcomed Natalie Elizabeth into the world. She is absolutely beautiful and has a full head of black hair! Congrats to Kelli and Jason!

Getting Greek

A few months ago, I came up with an idea to create custom painted shoes geared towards sororities on campus. So far I have completed 2 pairs, and I think they turned out pretty well! They are so much fun to make. The shoes are a blank canvas, just in another form. Hopefully, orders will come in and this idea will take off! Wish me luck! Add Image

Custom Orders

Last September, I was in a local art show called Art in the Park. It was my first show, and it turned out to be very successful! Several people had me do special orders for them, which is always exciting. This is an example of one of the paintings I created for a woman I met there. It was a pretty decent sized canvas, and i worked with different paint strokes and textures to create this abstract painting.

Flying Rabbits

I am attempting to create a mobile for my aunt's baby shower this weekend. I am going into this with no instructions or guidance, purely by whim. After I construct the frame, I am going to attach some cutout of animals all over it (as if they are flying?) The theme of the baby's nursery is Peter the Rabbit, but I feel flying rabbits may look a little odd? I may try birds.. wish me good luck!

Hello Art World!

The first post is always the most intimidating! I guess I should introduce myself... my name is Meghan and I am currently a freshman at IU. Art has been my passion for as long as I can remember. There is something so calming about putting a paintbrush in your hand and letting your mind do the rest. I am studying to become an Art Therapist so I can pass this therapeutic past time onto others! I have an art business (sort of!) where I sell my creations in art shows and on the internet! It has taken off lately, which is exciting! Check out my site: meghansimonett.etsy.com! More to come :)
