Artist Preview - Misha Ashton

With all of the changes here at Lucia Apparel, one of them is going to be my efforts to write a blog post every single day and Thursdays will be Artist Preview Day!! Mostly to go along with the huge turnout Portland gets for its First and Last Thursday street fairs! Which by the way, today is Last Thursday so make sure to go up to Alberta for a fun filled day of art, music and food, and maybe a few drinks, seeing as it is supposed to be in the upper 80's today.


Since the idea of doing an artist preview only just came to me this morning over a hot cup of coffee, I am going to take the easy way out and show you some photos from our featured artist, whos work we carry year round in at the store, Misha Ashton.


We started showing Misha's art about a year ago for First Thursday and decided it went so well with the clothing line to keep it on display all the time and just have her change pieces out with the seasons. Currently we are showing her Floral Series with images from all around the world. Cherry Blossoms in Japan, Suculant Cactus in New Zealand and of course, Roses in our lovely city of Portland. Not only do we display her lovely art, we also have many of her wedding and portrait portfolios to flip through in our lounge area. Misha is also Lucia Apparel's fashion photographer and graphic designer.


We didn't have time to do an official interview, but Misha was recently interviewed by a Portland Based website called DIY Alert, run by the lovely ladies of Handmade NW. You can see her full interview on their website.


Not only can you find her work on permanant display at Lucia Apparel, but she will be out at Last Thrusday today in between 26th and 27th on Alberta selling her work. An event she has participated in for over four years. Also make sure to check out her blog, she has just posted her monthly give away!!!
