Zandra Rhodes Snyder Art

Zandra Rhodes (pictured above), a world famous fashion designer, has been creating glamorous textiles and designs since the 60’s. Her personality is as bold and beautiful as her fashion and she continues to inspire all whom she interacts with.

As an artist, you not only constantly scribble ideas in a black book or transfer your thoughts into your chosen medium, you surround yourself with inspiring like minds. You seek out those who also are passionate about their art and you feed off your shared interest in the creative process. As an artist, you constantly seek inspiration.

lu alexandra snyderBryan Snyder was invited to be interviewed alongside a group of artists for ArtRocks247’s live radio station. A variety of creative and entertaining personalities filled the green room including web masters, traditional artists, jewelry designers, a musing fashion designer and two energetic radio hosts.

Thanks Lu and Alexandria for your drive to connect art, culture, music and fashion. Hope you enjoy the painting!

Our village is a masterpiece. A wide variety of local pubs and restaurants thrive with excitement 7 days a week and a handful of treasures can be found in any one of the many antique stores. Shady streets pave the way for mid mermday meanders and an ice cream, sushi or frozen yogurt is just a short crawl away.

For the past 3 years carlsbadcrawl has added creativity to our nearly perfect village streets. Art connects people and each of our projects is a way to unite our community while showcasing local business, friendships and the simple beauties of our village by the sea. We encourage locals and visitors to use our projects as an excuse to wander the streets, browsing local businesses and exchanging friendly smiles.

“A special thanks to all the participants of this year’s Plant an Egg project. This is a gift from us to you!
