Lorena Alvarez for Jim Henson Tribute
Nov 22, 2011

Lorena Alvarez made her debut to Gallery Nucleus at our Edward Scissor Hands Show and returns for The Lovers, The Dreamers, and Me to lend more of her signature, whimsical, dream-like illustration. This piece in particular, "My First Bike," has a more personal touch than her usual approach to themed exhibits. She fondly remembers her childhood, "doodling Miss Piggy and Kermit in my notebooks and how amazed I was by the magic of "The Labyrinth" and "The Dark Crystal." Her connection to Jim Henson as a child heavily influenced this piece, which for her "was a way to link those memories to my present experiences."
Still more to come!
