Allison Castillo, who is known for her “graffiti love” paintings and Elizabeth Taylor, who is known for her porcelain butterflies came together to create a stunning collaboration when Allison discovered that both she and Elizabeth had been creating a “Fruits of the Spirit” Series in their own styles and mediums for years without crossing paths. Their styles combined and resulted in a series of pieces that radiate with positivity and light-hearted sophistication. Each piece is 3-dimensional and highly textured and a fantastic addition to any home or office space.
Castillo finds inspiration in motivational podcasts, uplifting music, and everyday life as a mother of three children. Her favorite mantra “All of this is temporary’’ personifies her creative process and can be found woven into her work. Other unique words and phrases appear in her latest Love series making each piece feel like its own experience.
Allison’s work can be found on multiple continents; she is featured in HGTV magazine and collaborations with Barrington Gifts and Paper Sunday.
Elizabeth Taylor has been an artist all her life. It’s how God made her. She was created to create! Ceramics, cakes, clothes, crafts! Recently Elizabeth prayed for creativity and God blessed her with these beautiful butterflies! She can’t stop making them! They bring her and her creations endless joy! In addition to being an artist and a believer, Elizabeth is a wife and mother to two beautiful children.
Not only are these two ladies a tour de force in the Art scene, so is gallery owner Caroline Crockett Kneese. Caroline owns two locations, one here in Snyder Plaza and a second location in Amarillo.
The galleries feature the works of 40+ artists in all styles and mediums and rotates exhibitions every 6 weeks. Cerulean Gallery gives back to the community by donating a portion of the proceeds from each exhibition reception to benefit various philanthropic organizations.
