Artist Show Statement
Mallory Dawn, or better known by her artistic persona “Icecream and Cupcake”, is a self-taught, professional fine artist. Using a variety of mediums including spray paint, ink, pigment, pencil and acrylics she crafts mystifyingly surreal, rich-coloured paintings and murals. Through her artwork she navigates her personal experience in the world, while continuing to grow as an activist for social causes that are meaningful to her. The internationally-selling artist is currently focused on creating works of art that exhibit the depth, beauty, and richness of nature and its creatures.
This collection of works was born after losing her soul kitty, Binky, and coming to Montana to heal. It was in this landscape that she fell in love with the relationship between does & their fawns. Watching their nurturing love, guidance, their playful spirit, her heart began to heal and a new love was born.
Her works draw inspiration from her decade-long career in fashion design, weaving the iconic Gucci Flora print into her subjects and creating protective and nurturing layers of florals.
Mallory continues to experiment in the studio with the addition of lighting elements and fabrics, textures, and different materials to convey the feelings of what she's witnessing in nature. Ultimately striving to create work that brings all of us (human and wildlife) closer together.
