French-American artist Louise Bourgeois died on May 31st at age 98. Her work is haunting, eerily beautiful, brave, fragile, fierce, sexually explicit and autobiographical.

This morning, while reading through clips from L.A. style writers, I came across a post about Los Angeles artist Hadley Holliday by Sierra Feldner-Shaw on Style Section L.A., a site I’ve now bookmarked. I was immediately taken by Holliday’s work, especially the ones that give off a sort of really loose Frank Stella vibe, though the watery almost leopard print pieces are absolutely gorgeous (and I’m not even the animal print type.)
Feldner-Shaw came across Holliday’s work first in the apartment of shoe designer Beatrice Valenzuela, and second, in the home of jewelry designer Kathryn Bentley. The writer says, “The L.A. artist was clearly tapping into something fashion-savvy women were digging.” You can add me to that group.
Hadley Holliday went to RISD and the California Institute of the Arts (as well as the University of Kansas – she’s a Kansas City, Missouri girl). She works and lives in East L.A. and shows at the Solway Jones Gallery in L.A.’s Chinatown.

I meant to post this on Monday. But no matter, the event isn’t until tomorrow.
Papercut artist Joe Bagley will be at ACQUIRE in Boston’s North End on Thursday evening.
If you can’t make it, Joe’s work is available at his Etsy shop.
