I guess the theme for this week’s blog posts is art-related books because I had someone who attended my class on Frida Kahlo send me a picture of this board book for babies and kids. It is titled Frida Catlo and tells the story of artist Frida Kahlo as if she were a cat. It […]
Read more "Frida Catlo"This past Saturday I kicked off the 2nd annual Art Lovers Book Club at SoBo Gallery hosted by the Winter Garden Art Association. We had an amazing time discussing June’s book, Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper by Harriett Scott Chessman. You may remember that I posted about this book on the blog back in […]
Read more "Art Lovers Book Club 2019"I love parody and documentaries which makes me the ideal target audience for the show “Documentary Now!” “Documentary Now!” is an IFC original show (all three seasons are currently streaming on Netflix) with the sole purpose of parodying the very best documentaries ever made. I was thrilled to hear the creators were going to tackle […]
Read more "Waiting for the Artist"Today I share the final two paintings I created for the 15 Squared Art Show currently on view at The Barefoot Spa in Orlando, FL. Sticking with my pop culture theme, I decided to paint Calcifer from “Howl’s Moving Castle” by Hayao Miyazaki and Baby Groot from “Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2” by James […]
Read more "Opposites Attract"My painting of Dante from the Disney Pixar film “Coco” is currently residing at The Barefoot Spa as part of the 15 Squared Art Show. While he is an older piece, I decided to paint a couple of new feline friends to keep him company. In keeping with my pop culture theme, I painted Jiji […]
Read more "Feline Friends"One might think the anatomy category of the 15 Squared Art Show would be the most challenging for an artist who doesn’t enjoy painting people or portraits and who generally doesn’t care for the figure in art. But this is me we are talking about and while I don’t like painting people so much, I […]
Read more "Anatomy & Sugar Skulls"For the 1970’s category of the 15 Squared Art Show, I considered a few ideas, but settled on my first introduction to pop culture (and The Muppets)… Sesame Street! Sesame Street is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, so honoring this show felt right. However, I didn’t want to paint the more obvious characters. I […]
Read more "The 1970’s"I am so grateful to be included in the 15 Squared Art Show currently on view at The Barefoot Spa. The premise is to feature 15 local artists with 15 artworks each, but there’s a catch! Each artist must create artwork in four categories – anatomy, landscapes, the 1970’s and artist choice (no abstracts) – […]
Read more "Magritte-Inspired Landscapes"I recently completed a third painting in tribute to artist Yayoi Kusama titled Kusama Dots Yellow. It is currently on view as part of the Visual Fringe art gallery housed within the Orlando Shakespeare Theater. It will remain on view through the rest of the Orlando Fringe, which concludes on Sunday, May 26th. This painting […]
Read more "Kusama Dots Yellow"May is here and that means you will find me at the Orlando Fringe Festival. In addition to two weeks of theatrical productions, the Fringe also hosts an epic art show called Visual Fringe. Visual Fringe transforms the Orlando Shakespeare Theater into an art gallery that showcases a ton of local talent. If you attend […]
