Katy Horan's imaginary folk art

Katy Horan is a Brooklyn, NY-based artist whose lovely paintings of rituals, witches, healers, and animals are "meant to be the long lost folk art from an imaginary world." Above left, "Healers" (acrylic and gouache on wood); above right, "Candle" (watercolor and gouache on paper). Link (via Juxtapoz)

If I see another set of Brooklyn/SF-based paintings in this Claire Rojas style, I'm going to wretch.

i lucked out and got a copy of "healers" when it was featured on tinyshowcase.com several months ago -- really beautiful up close.
