Simone pixley weinstein

A-Merry-Go-Round Artist/Taxidermist with a strange curiosity about cuteness, death and depression. Simone lives in San Diego with her partner and pug! Simone is from the San Francisco Bay Area, where she drew inspiration from the Bay Area’s fairies and rainbows. As a cancer survivor, Simone accepts that every day is important and valuable, yet she remains obsessed with death. Simone holds a BA degree in studio art from Whittier College. She co-owns an alternative art boutique, Little Dame LLC. Simone is the volunteer taxidermy coordinator at the San Diego Natural History Museum’s Loan Program. She loves drinking hot chocolate with pea milk and taking long morning walks listening to podcasts.
