Customize Your Breasts with a Karrie Ross Original Artwork Bustier!

Have you ever wanted to Customize Your Breasts with a piece of Art? Well now is your chance to do it with a one-of-a-kind, Karrie Ross Bustier embellished just for you.

Customize Your Breasts with a Karrie Ross Bustier; 15w x 13h x 7d

Together we’ll create the imagery that represents the who you are… the external and internal visual and dialogue you will keep forever…OR… Gift it to a loved one for a special day. Either way, the you you are today will live on in this piece of custom artwork.

I’ll spend time with you in person or on the phone asking questions. We’ll review your feelings, passions, desires along with the colors and textures you like best. We can use clothing, fabrics, jewels, paint, pencil and more… along with a variety of different mediums to bring your custom bustier alive. Your personality will be exposed for the drama and dialogue for the back, which all comes from you…your experiences.

When I completed the first bustier in this series, I realized I had exposed a part of me that I hadn’t recognized before. Oh it wasn’t a deep dark secret, but it did open my eyes and I’ve grown a little more with each one that has been created after that. (I have about 15 bustiers already created which are for sale, and priced at around $950 each, if you decide not to commission your own. Please contact me for details.)

Your Custom Bustier begins with a 15w x 13h x 7d, existing plastic form Continue reading →

Why a Red Dot? Karrie discusses her concept.

Why a Red Dot? Karrie discusses her concept.

A play on words and visual. I am forever following the red dot, in the flash of a camera or the sale of a piece of artwork, a red dot seems elusive and at times unreal. My compelling Follow the Red Dot series addresses the more abstract of the concept and actually gives you real red dots to follow on the artwork. This work does not embrace the inevitable or reference repetiveness or labor through mediums or refracts or confines. It explores your desires and dreams of… Sometimes falling and other times just sitting there daring you to look…closer …at the texture that surrounds IT (the red dot)…its universe…its life. The struggles and joys of line, drips, drops and dots reminding us we are all in this together. There is no elusiveness just what is and what is IS to follow the red dot wherever it leads…hope is around the corner and to continue.

Organic in nature, working with oil and mixing it with acrylic and pencil brings about the most raw of imagery and textures layer over layer of seemingly undone beginnings to the final …. Red Dot. Buy my Art!

I’m a Feng Shui practitioner and hands on healer. Both are about connecting with energy and vibrations. Red is a very powerful color, it’s hot. Red is a motivator. Red vibrates at a high rate. When you vibrate red it begins to break up and disperse…healing and moving.

The Exploring the Red Dot paintings bring the Red Dot to you. To your vision and vibration. The intention into the paintings is sharing the experience and what is found in my exploration. So as you view and become involved… somewhere inside you will vibrate in the connection… and be healed and/or moved. AND ,my intention is successfully shared.

When I meditate sometimes I see a red dot surrounded by purple or greeen yellow or blues.

Over the past 30+ years I’ve been searching for healing. It began with wanting to heal my body from the accidents that happened and expanded into the healing and expansion of intellect and emotions. What I found was a connection with the energy of the universe…and the vibration. Once I connected I realized I’d found home where within and without became one in the purest of energy. I am never alone. I play lots. And love to share the fun.

Exploring the “DOT, DROP, DRIP” and sometimes spatter!

Over the years my love of  creating the “abstract with purpose” has brought me great joy. The finished paintings whether a lightly covered watercolour or massively covered oil… the dot, drop and drip with a little spatter has created a depth of pleasant surprises.

The latest in this overall exploration is the Color Dot Exploration….

Energy Blooms keep me busy

I love this series. The abstractness of the flower, dancing, coming alive in the painting. Totally tranced, the blooms position themselves on the canvas with drips and spatters free falling around them… a dance a conversation…

then

pow… now I’ve added the drop-dot flowers, a stark whimsey color splash to take you to another place…

tell me what you think.

A Poem: “Pauses” by Karrie Ross

Separations create pauses
in which we take notice of the
difference created by the absence
of what we’re used to
— habit
something we’ve attached ourselves to
for fear of  loss
or
control of self
yet our desire is to be
free
so where does control fit
boundaries limits
keeping our ‘self’ safe from
others who feed on our energy
we control our availability
aferall…
there is only so much energy to go around
no waste

Breast Awareness Auction at Very Venice Gallery

Breast Awareness: Karrie Ross, Michelle Ferrera, and Rachel Partiali, all Los Angeles based fine artists, present their artwork in honor of breast cancer awareness month this October. Each of their art portrays a different aspect of breast awareness. Through their unique expressions, they each depict their journeys to health and healing. A percentage of their proceeds will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Inc.

Karrie Ross, Los Angeles fine artist.

Ross’ Spiral Series: Bustiers were created to continue the conversations she has with her breasts chatter and attitude…from their back, interior dialogue, to the front, visual imagery that is shown to the world. This is an ongoing cathartic experience for her as it brings her closer to her body in a new and special way…which has inspired a whole series of books that she is writing in the http://www.TheLifeDialogue.com series of which My Breasts Talking™ is the first, guiding her to a greater awareness of what makes us who we are. The “coming alive from the inside out.” Karrie Ross is a Los Angeles based fine artist who paints, draws, and sculpts art that fulfills the need for energy transformation.

“Conversations” Opening at the Topanga Gallery

The Topanga gallery show was about “Conversations”

“Conversations happen everywhere…between men, women, children, pets and especially in our minds within ourselves. We wanted to share this sense of communication and all it represents with those who visit the gallery and view our art during the show.

There was a sampling of the Bustiers, Portraits and Points… the show was met with rave reviews by all who attended, they seemed to really enjoy having their photos take with the Bustiers.

“Conversations” show by Karrie Ross at the Topanga Canyon Gallery, August 31 thru September 25, 201

There will be more images posted at a later date as the website is currently under construction for a new and more usable gallery function.

The Bustiers are talking on the Chicago Billboard Project

Chicago Billboard Project getting Breast Awareness images by Karrie Ross

Chicago Billboard Project. Ten cropped enlarged images from the Spiral Series bustiers and portraits have been chosen for the Chicago Billboard Project to air the whole month of October 2011. I choose to add the words “Breast Awareness” as October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And my images have a lot to do with breasts….the portraits emphasize them and the bustiers are all about them, the internal (back copy) and external (front artwork) dialogue that goes on.

I’m excited about this project, wish I could be there to see them ‘live’ in full size. There are not many things that can top the feeling of seeing ones art out in the world larger than life… here’s looking forward to more opportunities to show my artwork in similar displays. See samples below of other images in this display.

SOLD: “Oh The Two of Us”

Oh-the-two-of-us-SOLD: 2011 to Lori and Herair Garboushian (Karrie in the middle)

I’m excited to announce that Spiral Series: Bustiers:  “Oh The Two of Us” SOLD at the LAAA annual auction to Lori and Herair Garboushian of Los Angeles.

This is the first Bustier I painted/drew in this series. I started the beginning of this year and I now have 15 finished with more to come.

Being the first one, it was painted most similar to my Spiral Series paintings in its approach with the drawing and painting applied to the “canvas” of a plastic bra form. This seems to be classified as a sculpture since it is free standing  but I did not do the form. I plan to explore that avenue later. I consider this a painting/drawing.
