Artflow Alliance Haunted Histories Virtual Art Exhibition Features Portraits by Living Dead Girl Nicole

0

While I continue to ride this rollercoaster that is this nightmare of a job market, one thing holds true. My LinkedIn network has pulled through for me time and time again since being laid off. Wither its buying my art that has helped me financially, reposting/spreading the word about my creations and job search on their profiles, commenting words of encouragement, reacting to my silly Muppet gifs, or sharing opportunities with me, I am honestly so incredibly grateful to all of the connections I have made on there.

Which leads me to Dominique Sahms the Founder and Curator of Artflow Alliance. As an artist herself, Dominique created Artflow Alliance to be a collaborative artist network that connects creatives worldwide. Through curated exhibitions, open calls, and artist spotlights, she helps support artists in expanding their reach, building community, and sustaining their practices.

With that being said, Dominique reached out to me about my work, asking if she can feature some of my pieces in her next Virtual Art Exhibition: Haunted Histories, and I am so honored to be a part of it.

This exhibition theme focuses on:
πŸ•―οΈStepping into the shadows of memory
🏚️ Abandoned places and ghost towns
πŸͺΆ Cultural myths, folklore, and oral traditions
πŸ‘ͺ Family lineage and ancestral echoes
πŸ“œ Historical events and overlooked narratives
☠️ The concept of history itself as a haunting force

The exhibition runs from Halloween, October 31st – December 31st, 2025 and the great thing is you don’t even have to leave your home or travel to view and support the artists who are participating in it. Everything can be viewed online via a free, interactive 3D art gallery. Allowing more artists and art collectors from around the globe to participate.

So starting TOMORROW, be sure to visit the exhibition link so you can freely scroll the virtual walls showcasing all the hauntingly beautiful art that is being featured, including my “Maybe Today Satan” and “Nothing Is Trivial” split-face portraits.

While there be sure to leave a ❀️ on the virtual display of my art pieces to show them some love and let me know you visited, and like always sharing this post to help spread the word for us artists would mean the world to us. Especially in this day and age where AI art is in the spotlight. Lets keep reminding the world where the true talent lies.. in human art.

And to celebrate, any of my art collectors who visit the virtual exhibition and then shop my Etsy Shop afterwards can use discount code HAUNTEDHISTORIES to receive 13% slashed off their order at check out!*
