A Jane Austen New York State of Mind
Posted by Jennyvi Dizon on
This is the print I designed with Jane Austen's novels which included Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion.

I'm still working on some styles for my runway show on September 10th, but here is a sample of a shoulder bag with the print.

I created this print from a painting I did when I was engaged in Colorado. I had asked my then boyfriend to marry me and I felt like that it was something Elizabeth Bennet would do today. Actually, any one of Jane Austen's characters could do that today and they too would have chosen wisely.
The Astrology of Genius: Anne Ortelee reads Jane Austen, with special guest Laura Rocklyn
Posted by Jennyvi Dizon on
To quote playwright Sarah Rose Kearns:
"The well-known astrologer Anne Ortelee has agreed to read "Jane," in the person of my dear friend Laura Rocklyn — whom you may have seen portray her before in my play Manydown and/or in her own solo show Who Dares to Be an Authoress. Anne is always fully-booked for readings about six months in advance, so I'm particularly chuffed that she's agreed to squeeze Miss Austen in.
Registration is $26 and all proceeds will help to fund The Holy Theatre's workshop of Persuasion, as adapted by Sarah Rose Kearns, at The Warwick Institute of Culture later this summer. Please click here to register today.
