• Behind the Print: Lita

  

  It's been so cold lately (by SoCal standard) that I'm eagerly counting down the days until the spring and summer months. I can't wait until I don't have to wear socks, pants, long sleeve, and a sweater inside the house!

  And the heater can't heat the house fast enough in the morning, that my husband and I have a "who's-gonna-get-out-of-the-warm-bed-perfectly-cocooned-with-plush-blankets-to-turn-on-the-heater" match.

  Needless to say that my current art is embracing the warmer months a little early, as I wait for nature to catch up.

  "Lita" is inspired by tropical scenery featuring lush greens and bright oranges.

  

  "Lita" can be printed up to 40"X40"

  A quick peak at a small portion of the process. Many hours of work condensed into a 1 minute video! One brushstroke at a time.

• Parima's 6th Birthday Giveaway

  I want to thank each and every one of you for helping make Parima 6th birthday possible. I wouldn’t be celebrating if you all hadn’t been support me and my art over the years.

  It feels like a lifetime ago when I first decided that I was going to give this all a shot.

  I was a young 23 year old facing some hard times and uncertainty about more things that I'd care to admit. The only thing I knew for sure was that I wanted to share my art with the world and was determined to make it work.

  In my mind I thought that I would just sell some art here and there. I never knew or could have possibly imagined the crazy journey that this would take me on.

  

  

  BDNY in New York

  

  Minted x Parima Studio Target Collab

  Some amazing things that happened to me and my art in 2018 were:

  • My art was in a Samsung Commercial
  • My art got picked up for an upcoming show on Netflix and another one for CBS
  • Had a wall mural commissioned by Minted.com's CEO Miriam Naficy, and then it was featured in her vacation home tour for the winter issue of Domino Magazine.
  • Started patriciavargas.com where I share and teach artists how to sell their art online.
  • Spoke in the social media panel at Camp Minted over the summer
  • My art was on display at BDYN and ICFF this year
  • Released my first ornament collection
  • A greeting card collaboration between my and Minted was sold at Targets across the nation

  And of course the stories and images that you all share with me about who you bought one of my pieces for and where it now hangs. Oh, how I love these! Seriously, it warms my heart and gives me the courage to keep going.

  I don't think it will ever not feel surreal to know that my art hangs in your home!

  So to celebrate Parima's 6th birthday I am giving away 6 amazing prizes (over $800+ in value!) as a giant thank you for your support over the years!

  Thank you and good luck!
