Orianna Kurrus is the hottest new artist in the Tampa Bay area. She creates fashion, mixed media art pieces, and the cutest dolls this side of the Mississippi. She has been featured in the Weekly Planet and Best of the Bay. Her art focuses on a mixture of dark and cute. A young girl in a painting can pour a teapot full of blood into a cup until it spills into the ground and dolls can sport blood-spattered wedding dresses. Her world is fantastical, filled with images that are both childlike and disturbing. She pulls in local models that represent a broad cross section of society to display her fashion. She has had fashion shows with themes like Dead Dollies and Zombie Dolls, and is planning a freakshow for March with another designer, Carly Champagne.
