“Telling tall tales of Victorian sadness…”

Artist of the month: Colette Calascione.

Colette Calascione was born in San Francisco in 1971 and received her B.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute. She resides in New York. I adore her style. Its like a combination between old school Victorian portraits and sci-fi, like Ray Caesar (who’ll be featured himself one of these days). She’s definitely one of my favorites. I don’t even want to say anything, I just want you to look at her work and appreciate it.

Her paintings remind me of old photographs like this:
