The life of an artist is a journey, a winding path littered with peaks of praise and valleys of sometimes bitter rejection. Rarely does one simply step out into the world and declare oneself an artist without first braving oceans of self-doubt, as the endlessly creative @playground.angel.studio will surely tell you. Evita withstood criticism in art school for her interest in traditionally “feminine” subjects and her decorative style, but Evita weathered the storms of uncertainty and emerged from her cocoon a brilliant, prolific and self-assured butterfly of an artist, and we here at Double Dutch could not be more thankful that she did. Evita’s work is utterly, fearlessly her own, and that is truly one of its greatest powers. Send any of Evita’s lovely, playful, ethereal art cards, along with a donation to your favorite charity, to someone in your life who needs a reminder that they are fabulous exactly the way they are. And check out “Fairy Tales,” a new collection of nine erotic folklore stories by @petrafcollins and @alexademie featuring Fairy Magic by the one and only Evita Flores, available for presale now! Xx DD
