Made with love in Oakland, California
About Nell
My Background
Hi! I'm Nell aka Nellyngton Lovecloud. I am an AfroLatino artist originally from The Bronx, NY. I spent years traveling around the US before ultimately setting down roots in West Oakland, CA. I love bbqing, camping and traveling with my sweet family.
My Medium
My work is usually multimedia. I love to use spray paint, acrylic, enamels, ink, wax marker, anything I can get my hands on! I love to make stencils out of random things and juxtaposing weird textures and aggressively active strokes. Lately, I've been applying my style to Allie's greenware and bisqued ceramic vessels.
My Inspiration
I'm inspired by nature, graffiti, street art, sunsets, soul music, hip hop, holograms, rainbows, house music, my beautiful wife, my sweet little baby, our fierce and noble wolf, the road, the waves, stars, the city and the countryside.
About Allie
My Background
I grew up in Cincinnati, Oh where I got her bachelors in Fine Art from the University of Cincinnati. I moved to Oakland Ca in 2012 and after 8 years of travel and seasonal work I have rekindled my love for clay. I'm currently working out of a community studio in Oakland.
My Medium
I work in high fire clay. Predominantly speckled clay like a speckled buff or speckled b-mix. The glazes I use are made in house at my community studio.
My Inspiration
I'm currently inspired by form. Utilitarian forms such as lidded vessels or mugs that function. My current focus is building skill and perfecting technique.
