Mab Graves is a pop-surrealist artist/illustrator. She spends her days working in her studio with her partner (Fashion Photographer, Larry Endicott) and his cat: Capt’n Pepper – her sworn enemy. Her work is inspired deeply by fairy tales and old classic literature. She blames this on her parents who unrelentingly read aloud to her and her three sisters as small impressionable children. Although her age and ethnicity are currently unknown, she does have powder pink hair and is at least 7years old. Her favorite colors are glitter and clear. And every color. Her dream pet would be a yellow fruit bat, or a nice old hedgehog with an eye patch.

Each participating artist has been carefully hand selected and asked to create artwork specifically for this exhibition. Whether it’s the immaculately rendered and delightfully whimsical work of note illustrator C.F. Payne, or the incredibly executed and slightly ironic oil paintings of artist Chelsea Gustaffson, each piece in this exhibition is sure to delight. Artist Chelsea Gustaffson says of her piece for the show, “My piece focuses on the beauty of a single waratah flower. It’s head and collar of leaves are almost dragon like, rising proud and powerful. The Latin word, effloresco (to bloom, to flourish), is juxtaposed with a contemporary acronym (FTW - for the win) intended to provide a bit of a tongue in cheek reminder that yes, it is important to aspire to be our
