The Doll Project/You Are Beautiful at Flourish Studios
The Doll Project show is up at Flourish Studios in Chicago. It’s photography by Tiffany Gholar featuring dolls in little scenes she’s set up. The themes are about messages society gives to young girls. I just saw the show today and I love it.
Along with the show, there’s an installation of the words You Are Beautiful, it’s a thing you know, there’s a You Are Beautiful movement – you can read about it here.
Fifteen artists were selected to make a letter. I got to make the letter E. Here it is, upside down and just primed:
Here it is finished:
I felt like part of Sesame Street today, driving a giant letter E to the gallery. (Today was brought to you by… the letter E!)
It’s mixed media acrylic on wood with sewing patterns tissue paper. Did I mention I’ve taken up painting?
If you’re in Chicago, I definitely recommend the show, which is up April 11th to May 9th. Full details here.

I received my first home loans when I was not very old and that aided me very much. Nevertheless, I require the consolidation loans once again.
Elaine,
Thanks so much for featuring my work on your blog! Sorry I didn’t comment sooner, but I have been very busy. (I’m in 3 shows right now!) Your letter “E” is beautiful. The use of a garment pattern is so appropriate for the installation since my work references the fashion industry. The work of the You Are Beautiful movement has inspired me to add another series that will be incorporated into a poster for the Doll Project. Here’s a preview:
