Animal House

Acrylic Mixed Media

My mom built me a dollhouse. It was a really nice one with real wood shingles, and paneling, real wood veneer floors, and trim, working electricity, working windows and doors, and a real wood staircase. Every room was wallpapered and fully furnished.

I loved the dollhouse.

I also loved animals... especially frogs and toads and turtles and salamanders and snakes...

Dolls?

Not so much.

So whenever I managed to catch one of the aforementioned critters, I'd bring them home to hang out in the dollhouse for a bit.

Salamanders in the bathtub (because that's the only plausible place really), frogs on furniture, snakes on staircases...

I liked to imagine that I was the same size as toads on tables and that we got to hang out in the dollhouse together. If i laid on my belly and looked into the rooms at eye level it was even easier to pretend we were best friends just hanging out in our miniature world...

About The Artist

Vanessa LeVesque

Vanessa LeVesque

My artwork is bright, vibrant, sweet and salty. Using spray paint, hand painted acrylic imagery, vinyl lettering, and found objects on wood panel (including copious amounts of glitter) layered within crystal clear resin, I create unique art that playfully tells my collected stories and observations over the last 40 years. A hopeful cynic, my work often tackles taboo and societal issues in an unassuming, cutesy and palatable way. 

Originally from New England and now living in sunny St Petersburg, FL I spent a lifetime trying to figure out where I fit in and how NOT to have a job I loathed (selling pipe markers was not my calling). Through a series of events and many plot twists I eventually found myself right where I always belonged... creating unique painted artwork. 

Through my work I hope to inspire others to chase their own dreams and to live their lives unapologetically on their own terms.
