Your biography in four lines.
I am a believer in the God of the Bible.
I am a wife, mother and grandmother.
I am obsessed with creating art.
I love nature and live in Maui.
I was born....
I started to...
And then....
(and I ripped off Alasdair Gray)
the magic of an inverted world through a convex lens in my drawing book, of seeing the porch drown in gigantic shadows of death as the moths danced around a naked bulb, bombay, lahore; graduation from the only arts school then, london by chance and where ever next - no idea! art of living by each moment as it unravels... art of chance!
Edwin Vazquez's art combines Pre-Columbian history with comic book visual culture to describe the fusion of Hispanic and American identity in a contemporary urban setting.
I was born in England and emigrated to Australia as a child. I had a commerce career (I have three degrees) but then moved into the arts when I was injured in an accident. Now I work largely from home. I've been based in Amsterdam for the last few years and travelled all over Europe and Asia visiting museums, attending biennales, viewing exhbitions, meeting artists and writing about it all in my blogs. I'n now back in Sydney setting up a new studio and planning to exhibit my most recent work.
My name is Lenny.
I became an artist when i completed my High School education in 1997.
There is nothing more fulfilling than seeing people marvel at the works of my creativity.
Bead work is dynamic!!!
I loved art as a child, but as I grew up I lost confidence in my abilities. At the age of 50 I went back to school and became a graphic artist (although still not very confident!)
In the past 10 years, I have gradually become more confident and able to appreciate my art on my own, rather than relying on others for validation.
I have studied under such renowned potters as Clary Illian, Meira Mathison, Sylvie Granitelli, Julia Galloway, Bonnie Seeman, Sarah Jaeger, and Sandi Pierantozzi. From each of these wonderful artists, I usually take away a new technique or way of creating that I then incorporate into my own pottery voice.
I am a founding member of the Steamboat Clay Artisans and work with this group on an annual Soup Bowl Supper fundraiser, a holiday sale, summer farmer's market, and educational programs.
I was honored last year to be asked to submit my work which is featured in Best Of America Pottery and Woodworking Artists & Artisans Vol.1 by Kennedy Publishing.
And recently (April 2009) I was one of the speakers at the national clay conference in Phoenix.
I.
Don't.
Have.
One.
I loved nature and insects as a child, and was always trying to find ways to display them in my "bedroom closet museum". As I got older, I took some entomology classes in college and because even more interested. My creative side took over from there, and "Insect Art" was born!
I am a paper crafts and mixed media artist. I spread the word and try to inspire others to create art and perserve memories. I do this through designing and teaching for scrapbook industry manufacturers and freelance work.
I am God's creation, and I will spill my canvas.
I cannot kill insects or spiders, they are equally important to me.
I am so much like my father, it's often like punching a mirror just to find out I'm the one who feels the pain: not him.
I'm going to die anyway, all to follow will die anyway (the human race will be conquered), nothing will be retained forever: So I live my life exponentially.

out of the ashes rises pheonix once again
1. I grew up in Winchester, MA but did most of my schooling at Lexington Christian Academy.
2. Art became my "path" in San Jose, CA in 2005--after our family moved cross-country.
3. I don't like to be confined; I reject art being the only way for me.
4. I'm alive and kicking.
Nothing interesting, really. I have always been fascinated with doodling (mostly about chickens) as a child and from there I progressed from animals to portraits and then nature, or whatever catches my attention. I stopped time and again because of more pressing matters. Now, I've decided to be what I've always wanted to be. |
