She knew she was strange and peculiar- A little diddy about an ArtGirl

I am a self taught mixed media artist living in Salt Lake City Utah with my love, Dwight, my two children, Sheldon and Madi and step-daughters Julia, Megan and Erika...and two pugs, Zeppelin and RaniJoy and a very fat cat, Annabelle.

I got my start selling my offerings years ago at the Downtown Farmers Market. I moved and traveled from show to show aspiring to be a full time art show gypsy. Exhausting physically, financially and spiritualy but OH so much fun! Although I still work in the coporate world I have never let go of my dream and vision of when I will make my living full time the "creative play way"........creating, teaching, organizing shows, inspiring women and girls through creativity and the many other business ideas and life enrichment ideas I constantly have!

Since my 1st market I have been honored to be in many wonderful home boutiques and holiday shows and amazed to be represented along side remarkable artists in fine art shows such as Jackson Hole Arts Fair, West Coast Artists in Palm Springs, Art In Kayenta, Sundance Harvest Moon and Trails Village in NV. My work adornes the homes of many around the US as well as in India, Sweden, Columbia, Moldova, Costa Rica and Poland.

I have been a part of many shows and for years organized my own annual backyard boutique, The Garden Of Art, which displayed the works of local women artisans, outdoor art boutique-y style.

In 2005 I was thrilled to be an invited intructor with Woman Create, an event hosted by Chapelle ltd Publishing Company, which brought together teachers and artists from across the country in addition to many long loved HGTV and DIY show hosts, authors and speakers. It remains one of the most pivotol, influential moments in my life for which I will always be grateful for and gave me the confidence to teach and the love to do it.
Check out my creative workshops, SOul UnLeashed!

I am kindred spirit with many who adore and own my work. My thrill and reward comes from the reactions of people who embrace the work I create to the soul it tickles inside them.

My art contains oddness and magical whimsy combined with inspirational and empowering thoughts and appeals to little girls all the way to great grandmas.

Although a challenge at times, I strive to embrace the imperfection and realism of life and do so by creating imperfect and whimsical art which adds charm and organic originality to each piece I make.

I strive to live my bliss, my creativity allows me to live that and is play for me as I strive to embrace the oddness's and whimsies of life that surround us and truly live my joy.

Artfully yours,
Lauricia Grimshaw-Cox
The Happy ArtGirl

An inspiring word, saying or quote adorns ever single box and each is created with love and sweet karma.
A lifetime treasure for you or a loved one. These treasure keepers start at $40.


My collection of "SHE" boxes are the perfect gift for any women of strength or one needing a bit of encouragement and reminder of the amazing women they are.

SPIRIT IN FLIGHT ART DOLLS & BIRDS


I have to say this is one of my favorite treasures ever. The body is made freeform, a wonderful, organic process. Each doll is unique and vibrant in color showing off thier very own individuality. Of course they are not complete without a inspirational or intriguing word or saying. They start at at $48.00.

BUTTONS COLLECTION


SO i'm in LOVE with these paintings. I start with a crackled background, add pretty paper "buttons", petals and of course a cool work or saying..or two. Nothing matches, nor should it, yet it goes together beautifully. Paitings on canvas start at $40.00.

Fabulous She!


This girl is gorgeous...long skinny neck, big hair, big lips and big eyelashes. Although gorgeous on the outside she portrays real strength and beauty on the inside. She is always adorned with a cool inspiring word or saying such as "she shuts her eyes so she can see", "Soul Unleashed" "Soul Of Swell" "Loveliest of Lovely Things She is"
Might I mention the pictured girl is my FAVORITE ever and the original painted on fabric and adorned to upcycled demin, made into purse, is owned by by oldest step daughters mother....who has been an amazing role model and mother to these incredible women.

Tuesday

DragonFly Gypsy Boxes and Wall Icons


These boxes are by far what I am recognized for the most and my most popular product. I have sold many hundreds of these....I stopped tracking log ago and they never seem to get old for people, they are just better year after year. These boxes and icons are collaged with handmade clay tiles which I personally create, texture, pattern, paint and all. My boxes are commonly only given three legs and each box has a glass glob hidden inside. Why three legs and a glass glob you ask?? Egyptian legend says the box only needs three legs (pyramid theory I suppose), it's also part of my signature, the uniqueness and a bit odd so three legs it had to be! I found that everyone who looked at my boxes always did one thing, they opend it up to see what treasure hid inside........little kids, grandmas, men and women alike, so after a year of observing this peculiar behavior I began to add this little extra embellishment for fun and no other reason than that.
Everyone of these is a one of a kind and done free form, meaning they come together as they do, I do not typically coordinate colors or plan out designs. Each box comes with a inspiring word, thought or saying and embellished with an assortment of findings.

She Creates Recklessy!

I love to create! I love to collage and I love to make one of whatever I want and not have only a line of products. Collage is one of my favorite mediums in addition to my lines. For those who wish to consign with me, you will never know what I will show up with next!

Enjoy viewing a plethoria more of pics.
