Pleased To Meet You Boutique is proud to be holding an Art Show with works from the talented Alfonzo de Anda and SisterDarling…
Alfonso de Anda
Drawing since he was a kid, Alfonso de Anda has grown up with a pencil in his hand, exploring and getting to know all the creatures that inhabit our world and his mind. With the help of art and design studies he has been able to get to know these characters and tell their stories in various media.
He has his own way of seeing things and to express how he feels about them in the most particular way, turning day-to-day situations into something beautiful. His art is filled with irony and humor, the stories told in his work can remind us of our childhood, our youth, even our maturity. The feelings embodied in his art show us something real, something human.

Also works from the amazing SisterDarling…
SisterDarling (aka Meghan Geliza) is a Pop Surrealist Auckland-based painter. Her art is hugely influenced by 19th century literature: books about gardens kept by lock and key, whaling voyages, and sisters coming-of-age. Her imagination was also fed by animation, particularly Merrie Melodies, Looney Tunes, Disney and Studio Ghibli.
Her body of work takes a slightly nostalgic slant, and is currently exploring themes of migration, identity, limitation and transcendence from it. Her narrative works are also influenced by tattoo culture, street art, the blues and other music involving accordions, banjos or ukuleles.
Late 2009 and early 2010 she was one of the feature artists in Auckland’s First Thursday’s Exhibit, and was chosen as one of the Single Artist Wall exhibitors at 2009’s New Zealand Art Show.
