Handmade Store: Wicked

Juried Member of EBSQ+ Internationally-known Canadian artist Noelle Hunt works in a studio full of her muses—collectible pieces of vintage kitsch. Her work, under the name WickedDollz , has been featured in magazines and celebrity homes around the world. One reviewer wrote, "Ms. Hunt's style can best be described as ‘nouveau retro.’" Gathering inspiration from pin-up girls, big-eyed children, pity puppies and tiki bars, Noelle studies the objects of her affection and reshapes them in a modern style. Her artwork, like her personality, is delightfully unpretentious. Noelle's early work, revolving around disturbing representations of the female form, echoed a tragic eating disorder that nearly took her life. Her recent work, however, is inspired by lighter, nostalgic things, like Big Eyed Dolls and Mattel’s Liddle Kiddles®, as well as newer dolls like Pullips®. Now, with tongue set firmly in cheek, she continues to express her own brand of humor and exorcise the demons. Please feel free to email with any questions or comments.
