wicked: Big Eyed Art from Internationally selling Canadian artist Noelle Hunt. Ms. Hunt's studio is filled with collectible pieces of vintage kitch, which inspire her work. Her pieces have been featured in magazines and celebrity homes. One reviewer wrote, "Ms. Hunt's style can best be described as, nouveau retro." I am inspired by all things kitsch: pin up girls, big-eyed children, pity puppies and tiki bars. These vintage things inspire my work, go through my mental filter and emerge, reshaped in a modern style. It reflects not only my inspiration but also my personality...delightfully unpretentious. Noelle Hunt has been painting since childhood,her early work was mostly inspired by an eating disorder that came very close to killing her. Disturbing representations of the female form make up the bulk of the work from that time period. Most of her present work is inspired by various nostalgic themes. One could say she "learned to lighten up." With tongue set firmly in cheek, she continues to express her own brand of humor and exorcise the demons. Noelle has done many One OF A Kind pieces for collectors through out Canada, Japan ,Australia, England,Spain France and the US.
