Finding inspiration in the park at Site, Santa Fe

Finding inspiration in the park at Site, Santa Fe

I recently visited New Mexico (one of my favorite states!) and found inspiration in so many ways.  You’ll see a strong influence in my color palette from the Land of Enchantment, finding it’s way into my current mixed media works.

I’m on the panel and will be doing live drawing/painting on Thursday 12/29, from 6-11pm at the Green Eye Lounge for the Atomic Sketch Event!  This is a great opportunity to get art at an affordable price or even free and support local artists.  Yay fun!

Inspirations…THAT MOMENT

THAT MOMENT

THAT MOMENT

I take pictures of things I find interesting.

It could be the subject matter, the color, the lighting…but it’s always because I’m inspired in some way to capture THAT MOMENT.

THAT MOMENT extends into other areas of my art whether consciously or not….it has to, for what I see in THAT MOMENT moves my art forward.

I found this on Damen Ave. in Wicker Park.  The context and content is interesting on so many levels.

Inspirations…

"what surrounds you..."

what surrounds you...

I’m inspired by what I photograph, and what I paint inspires my photography.

This was taken in the Formal Garden in Humboldt Park.  I love how the foreground and background become fused together….life mimics art, art mimics life.
