awesome women and their street art installations part duo

Paige Smith- Geode Street Art Project

Paige is a freelance artist living in Los Angelos. Her current project is creating colorful 3D shapes in the form of geodes, crystals, quartz or mineral formations found in nature.  These solid and subtle beauties are being strategically placed in various parts of the city, a sort of unexpected treasure for communities and passer by's.

The idea is quite stunning. Creating beautiful things that may or may not be seen, and bringing vivid life back into barren and disheveled parts of cities. Here are some pictures for viewing pleasure and her website A Common Name with more of her work and her blog.

Alice Pasuini- Affectionate Street Art

Alice Pasuini is a Rome-based visual artist who works as an illustrator, painter and set designer. Her street art displays brilliant acts of love, affection and hope and range from small phone booth paintings to incredibly large sized images on the sides of buildings. Of her work Alices says that she creates “art about people and their relationships, I’m interested in representing human feelings and exploring different points of view. I especially like to depict strong and independent women.”

To delve a little deeper into the immense amount of art she has displayed all over the world I recommend checking out her website

I can't help but gravitate towards the unique look and feel of her art, the images bring a colorful, peaceful and endearing undertone to city backdrops. The graffiti art I have seen here in California is not nearly as comparable to the aesthetic and feel of Alice's work. Let's get back to the simplicity and beauty of being a human in a community; love, compassion, family, friends, animals, making connections with the life that surrounds us.This is what it should be about.When I look at her art I am deeply inspired to bake my neighbors cookies and hug and kiss the person closest to me.

  1. Her art is amazing I especially like the little girl in the rain with an umbrella and with a lost dog. Her art has this graffiti feel to it but her work is so amazing. She even draws on a walls cover in graffiti which I found very impactful.
