The Now

Currently, my paintings can be seen at the EM Fine Art gallery in Seattle, Washington as part of their “Divine Feminine” showing.

As for new work, I’ve been really into bloodwork lately, creating lots of small canvas paintings meant to be interactive with the owner. More on that concept when I’m ready to wheel it out for sale :)

I am currently open to commission work at this time, any size, any style, any price range! Please contact courtnee @ neevita.net with interest. I mainly work in acrylics and canvas, canvas board, wood, and paneling.

History

I have been a doodler and part-time artist since childhood, working in many mediums including pencil, charcoal, oil pastel, oil paints, acrylic, and random substances found about my house. I’ve even tinkered in mosaic a bit, and won an art contest while in middle school. I tend to be obsessive about a particular medium for a couple days or weeks, then move on to something else, in a continuing cycle.

I enjoy directing, particularly because it often lends me the opportunity to work in many mediums throughout a project.

In general, I would say my most ambitious excursions into the depths of artistic expression revolve around the how much of myself I put into my works. Obsidian, my most personal and ambitious show to date, was an incredibly energetic and encompassing project for me. I also take to using my blood suspended in acrylic heavy gel in creating paintings, at certain times in my life.

City of Seattle

Pacific Northwest Ballet Nutcracker March is an annual public art project benefiting Northwest Center, an organization that provides services for children and adults with disabilities.

In 2005, I decorated “Mono” in mosaic tile, which was positioned in front of the Seattle Sheraton and displayed at McCaw Hall. In 2006, I decorated “Tree” (pictured) which was positioned in front of the federal courthouse, and displayed at Benaroya hall. It’s an honor to have been a part of these projects.

Neevita Knits and Crafts

I enjoy crafting; mostly knitting, crochet, sewing, and purse and trinket-box decorating. Due to a short attention span for projects, I usually make scarves and fingerless glove sets when I knit, as well as the occasional hat.

At one time, I sold these creations, because I made enough of them to supply the demand. I haven’t done that in a while after taking on directing, going into business for myself as a massage therapist, and forming a non-profit. I still knit for myself occasionally.
