Mardi Gras Queens: 'Honey Grace--The Carnival Dreamer'

With her honey-gold curls and fluttering companion, Honey Grace reminds us that whimsy has wings.  She's like a daydream dressed in gold--radiant, tender, and full of light.  Her curls shimmer with touches of bronze and tiny pink jewels as her little honeybee--a symbol of sweetness and curiosity-- whispers secrets of joy.  Beneath the paint lie layers of tattered paper, lace, and bits of ephemera--fragments of stories reborn through color and texture.  Each brushstroke adds movement and depth, blending soft acrylic hues with hints of metallic shimmer.  She reminds us that even in the confetti and color, there's beauty in stillness and grace in imperfection.

Part of the Mardi Gras Queens Collection.  Each queen was brought to life through Deborah Andress's signature Tattered Artist process--a soulful blend of acrylic paint, layered paper, found ephemera, and tiny jeweled details.  These 8x10 mixed media artworks are built with texture and whimsy, each one telling her own story of grace, joy, and Southern spirit.
