I am an Artist–Am I an Artist?

I hope you’ll indulge me in a moment of self-reflection—I have come to appreciate that it is a powerful tool that we do not utilize as much as we should.  Answering questions about art and the artistic process for my last post made me take a more critical look at myself. After I graduated from […]Read Post ›

Ask an Artist, Part 2

Here is the second part with Tiffany and Claire’s questions for me and my answers on what it is like to be an artist and the creative process.  If you missed it, here is part one. Again, I cannot speak for all artists, but I hope you find my answers on what being an artist […]Read Post ›

Ask an Artist, Part 1

Since I am the artist on the team, Tiffany and Claire posed some interesting questions for me on what it is like to be an artist.  There are many ways to be an artist, and my answers to these questions are based solely on my experience.  Other artist’s answers will be different based on their […]Read Post ›

Experiencing “The Art of the Brick” at the Pacific Science Center

Too expansive to be housed in the Seattle Art Museum, “The Art of the Brick” is being shown in Seattle at the Pacific Science Center.  The exhibit opened May 28th and will be on view until September 11, 2016.  As the Science Center advertises, CNN named it one of the top ten “Global Must-See Exhibitions” […]Read Post ›

When Artists Steal vs. Copy

Before I opened this article, I was skeptical because the Artnet News Facebook page described it as “Your favorite Klimt paintings, transformed into high-end fashion photography.”  High-end fashion photography tends to either be trendy and chic or ridiculous and overdone.  However, upon opening the link and seeing Inge Prader’s photographs in comparison with the paintings, I […]Read Post ›

Technique vs Joy of Painting

Just recently Bob Ross’ The Joy of Painting TV show was released on YouTube.  I think it is safe to say that most everyone who knows of Bob Ross was excited to hear that news.  I remember when I was a kid watching an episode of Bob Ross’ show for the first time.  I was completely mesmerized.  […]Read Post ›

Deconstructing the Myth of the Artist

Our culture has this Romantic idea of the artist as a solitary creative genius.  As someone who is suddenly struck with an idea, disappears into her studio, and then miraculously emerges days later with a masterpiece.  As the writer on staff with the most experience in creating art, I thought it appropriate to use my […]Read Post ›
