Paintings by Oracle Fox's Mandy Shadforth

Was visiting one of my favourite blogs last night Oracle Fox and couldn't help but re-post some of her paintings.

Mandy is beyond talented and has such a unique way of expressing herself; slightly obsessed.
The collage work is by far my favourite and I love it's symmetry and whimsical mood.
Would KILL to have any of these on my wall.

To see more of her amazingness head to here official site HERE.

Happy Tuesday!
