Her ceramics and paintings of characters, flowers, and fauna of are part of a fantastical world inspired by influences from folk art, pop culture, outsider art and fairytales. Animals hold symbolic power in many cultures, and for Shilling, they serve as a vehicle for the exploration and expression of her inner emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mug features Shilling’s 2020 painting “Spotty Dotty Dog House,” a colorful depiction of a dog sitting outside under a blue sky, surrounded by flowers. The dog’s home is in the background, a comforting presence even as the dog looks beyond to the outside world.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShilling writes: “This artwork is as much about you as it is about me. It is about self exploration through sublime storytelling—ultimate, undeniable pleasure and satisfaction. The shapes are soft, the colors vibrant, and the figures are reminiscent of childhood stuffed animals. The cute pup intently gazes off into the distance with a suspicious sun looming over the land. The viewer can only wonder what approaches the two beyond the frame.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eABOUT THE MANUFACTURER\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured by OBJECTS ARE BY, these limited-edition Bone-Free China mugs are designed exclusively for Magic House.
