The 38-year-old artist, Velvet Winters, has come back to the city after a long absence. Her latest work is a series of portraits of her previous friends and lovers, all of them dressed in a style that seems to be a mixture between traditional art and the surrealist tradition of the 1920s.
The paintings depict a world of dreamers, thinkers, artists, and poets, with a palette that is at once soft and vibrant. The portraits are an exploration of the self and others, as well as an attempt to find a kind of peace that has been missing from the lives of her former friends and lovers.

Frosty Friendships – Building a snowman with a soul.
In the cold winter night, the moon cast a bright glow on the snow-covered landscape. In a remote corner of the woods, a group of children were hard at work. They had built a snowman.
The snowman was special. He had been crafted with care and attention. Each of the children had taken pride in their work. They had all worked together diligently to make sure that he was perfect.
As they completed their task, they noticed something special. Each child had taken great care to carve the snowman’s face, so that he looked as friendly as possible. As if to reward their labor, the snowman opened his arms and smiled.
The children were astonished. Their snowman had a soul. He was an individual being, with feelings, just like them.
Each child took it upon themselves to introduce the snowman to their friends. They told their friends that he was special, and they soon became best friends.
From that day on, the children had a newfound appreciation for their special friend. They were no longer cold and lonely in the woods. They had each other.
They built more snowmen together, and each one had a unique personality. They made more friends and had even more fun.
The children were no longer cold and lonely in the woods. They had each other.
