With each one, my intention was to capture the island’s distinguishing features: the incredibly clear turquoise waters, the famous blowholes, stunning sunsets and the abundance of tropical luscious palm trees.<br />

I felt peaceful and serene while ‘researching’ and creating these artworks (not hard when in Cayman!) and spent time asking people about their stand out features... I had a couple of speciaI requests to add a rooster into one of them! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
There are only ten of each in existence, they are mixed media, combining photography, hand painted layers and vectorised illustration with hand finished with extra details, like gold leaf, so each one is unique.</div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />This one is called 'Clamorous Cove', and was inspired by the blowholes found on Grand Cayman Island... It's a scenic area where seawater rushes through openings on the rocky shore, creating natural fountains. <br />Watching this force of nature happening feels like a celebration.... an unexpected explosion of water, like confetti, fireworks or champagne corks popping!<br />So I wanted this piece to reflect this feeling of celebration, along with the warmth of a Caribbean sunset.</span><br />

For too long, women have had to battle men in a man's world, by mimicking the qualities that such a world prized (we shan't go into those here!). Finally, women are beginning to rise, but crucially, while maintaining femininity and the aspects of their nature that set them apart, and make them unique. </span></span><span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First of all happy new year! Yes I know it's half way through January already but I've only just finished making my new year's diary / work planner. Every year I give myself the extra project if making my new book entirely from scratch, using collaged pieces of off-cuts & recent artwork colour test prints.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's always intended to only take a few days... that time between Christmas and New Year that is still half holiday time... but every year my project starts creeping past new year's eve, than past the first week.... and into the second. Finally (usually mid-January) it's done and time to go get it spiral bound and ready to use!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">La Shuks is my art name, (human name Katie Mac). I create limited edition mixed media prints and silkscreens, as well as 3-dimensional pieces and one-of-a-kind originals.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There's a theme running through my work, as it explores an imagined evolution of the earth in the far distant future, once humans no longer exist. </span><br />

I could probably keep tweaking this beast for another month or so! But no.....Life dictates that it's finished now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So here it is; "Shambling Alps" </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A limited edition mixed media print. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">70 x 70 cm</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Just when you thought things couldn't get any more bright and colourful in La Shuks land, Tropichrysalis happens!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Incidentally, the first draft of this artwork started twinkling almost two whole years ago, when</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I decided I really wanted to create a tropical piece using my many photographs of luscious foliage and caribbean palm trees. But it just kept stalling somewhere in the execution, so </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I would put it on hold and move on to other works, completing around 10 artworks during this time. Over the two years since it's first glimmer of life, my ideas and techniques have changed and developed so much. So much so, that when I finally came back to it a month ago and worked on it to completion, the end product has turned out totally unrecognisable to that orignal incarnation!</span><br />
