Greetings and welcome to my cyber portal..my name is Maya aka Miss Mitten and I am an artist who dabbles mostly in old school cut and paste collage using the Kodachrome palette of old National Geographics and old album covers to create new and seamless images. I use my talent to teach others in both a one to one context or in group sessions and have taught in the Saatchi Gallery in London and Hamburg in Germany as well as in my local community here in West Wales. http://www.mayamitten.com/-workshops.html. I am also the proprietor of From The Hip ~ a small but perfectly formed shop upstairs of The Parrot Bar at 32 King Street in Carmarthen selling posters, prints, cards and T-shirts and anything else that catches my eye; this means I am always on the look out for cool art and fanzines with an underground vibe. http://www.mayamitten.com/from-the-hip.html Something else that brings me much joy is music - especially reggae/dub and soundsystem culture (though my my musical tastes are very broad and not just limited to this genre!) which has been a love since I first heard the likes of Ijahman and Steel Pulse some 34 years ago - little did I know that 34 years later I would be a well established 'Selectress' playing the music I love to dance floors from Wales to Germany as well as providing my art and design for album covers for the likes of the Irie-Ites and Echo Beach and promotions for events within the scene; I was heavily involved in the organisation of the Clifftop Reggae Party 2016 and still continue to be involved in putting on nights here in Wales. The future is looking bright as this Autumn brings the first release from Queen Dubby Sound - a concept which started out as a visual concept to showcase my art in the soundsystem world and culminated in an exhibition in Hamburg last year. http://www.mayamitten.com/queen-dubby-records.html |
