Valentina is my new art project in which im working towards creating a children’s book that will be placed in the Brooklyn Art Library. It is a huge task as im using all recycled parts to give it a raw edge.

Im sitting in a Cafe realising that my blog has had no real love in the last few months. This is where I hurdle around and dive into the files of the computer to find something that hasn’t been shown any light since the last post. I discovered my hidden sweet taste of paint and pen, hiding in the distant files of the “Picture Library”, and one that I am so fond of as I believe it is a start of something fresh and new in my quirky little world of art.

She has a taste of vintage to her look even though she is born within the 20 years that have past. She has expensive taste and endulges in lifes most simple pleasures, a glass of wine, a beautiful lyric, a dance of life. Her lips speak of goodness and purity and she is not defined by the definitions of the pop culture but exposes a truth of beauty in it’s utmost raw state….She is depth.

Have you ever been found in a romanticism of dreams awaiting them to become a reality? Beci Culley fulfilled her dream and tasted its truest reality. On march 8th 2011, within the creative hub of the fortitude valley, a brisbane artist emerged into action. There was an explosion of creativity that hit the walls of Drobe, a lush boutique filled with some of the finest designers Australia has to offer. This hasn’t been the only time, however that Beci has had a taste of reality and emerged from her romanticism of dreams.

Beci was born on December 17th somewhere within the 80′s, in Geelong, Victoria but she grew up in Manly Brisbane. Her launch into the fine arts was not exposed at an early age as her music captured her supreme hopes and goals. The directions changed and her artistic ventures were awakened. She became interested in the finer side of the art’s whe in Sydney studying music, a friend who was already an established artist had introduced her into creating canvases of her illustrations. Absorbing the encouragement of a friend it drove her to excel into this awakened desire.

Graduating highschool at 16 and finishing her Diploma of Graphic Design at 18 within Southbank Institute, soon after Beci became a skilled designer ready to embrace the future.

Beci’s passion to be involved int he creative industries did not stop growing over the years. The journey has dipped her brush in places where never thought possible. Attached to textile design, photography to musical theatre (where she assisted the set designer) costume design, singing, songwriting, and finally in cosmetics where she continues her interests in make-up artistry.

Being well travelled, Beci’s inspirations grew from the moment her hands touched the city of love: Paris. Her future hopes embraced the thought of her art (of all forms) to fill the homes and hearts of people around the world, but today she releases that romanticism in her canvas and continues to express those emotions through every part of her nature

I have been introducing the ‘emme belle’ series over the past few weeks to my blog. It’s a quirky new concept with expressions of what my life has been rewarding me with in the past few months.

There are moments in life that cannot be described with words alone to reflect the humour of the occasion and this is why i have created ‘emme belle’.

This is the first competition I have entered to date and I am full of butterflies!

If you have a spare few seconds in the day I would truly love your vote to help me obtain a great opportunity in the artworld
