Red Rabbit Show – LA

by

red-rabbit2Red Rabbit Arts & Crafts Market was started by a group of friends, all artists and artisans, who would get together regularly for raucous lunches to discuss all things art and craft related. After the success of the first show held last December in La Cañada Flintridge, they’ve decided to hold the next edition of the Market at the wonderful 127-acre Los Angeles Arboretum in Arcadia. This Arts & Crafts Market will feature local Southern California Artists and Crafters.  Included will be unique works in glass, ceramics, jewelry, fiber arts, metal, mixed media and other handmade items.  There will also be kids crafts and lots of demos going on!  A great raffle is included, and free goody bags go to the first 100 attendees.

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
