🙄 What a mutant I am, I made a really stupid mistake with my website update – it just goes to show what pain can do to the brain.. anyway, all fixed now. Check it out and let me know what you think! Tags: artist, gallery, website
*sigh* My swelling is up so high I feel like I am lying on a hot water bottle…. I wouldn’t mind but I am already planning my next one and I have ideas pouring out of my….. I don’t know what I would do without my little sketch book, when the pain gets so bad I want to cry I pick up my book and pencil and escape for a while.
Where The Girls Aren’t by Jerry Saltz: The programmatic exclusion of women is partly attributable to the art world’s being a self-replicating organism: It sees that the art that is shown and sold is made mainly by men, and therefore more art made by men is shown and sold. This is how the misidentification, what Adorno called a “negative system,” is perpetuated.I have been watching the trends on this with alarm, it is a true fact that women are under-represented in the art industry…. maybe we need to set aside our fears and worries about our babies and send them off to the galleries with a packed lunch, cry and then be proud that something we gave birth to is doing so well.
I’ve done some further changes to my template to make them work a little better and I definitely think I will be buying CSS editing sometime soon. Mostly however, I have started the changes for my website – my gallery is completely different, with sorting by series rather than topic. I have also done away…
It must be spring, because I feel like changing things around. My blog has undergone a new look with a clean layout and a three column template. I feel as if two long columns meant that things were getting lost so hopefully this is a bit easier to use. I would love some feedback as…
The High Vibes festival was dampened slightly which sucks but there were still quite a few people around. It was very neat, such a cool, free festival with hippies dancing in the street – pure expression everywhere and my work on display for all to see – a pretty cool feeling 🙂 It reminded me how far I am from my corporate career and how happy I am to be back in the world of art and expression and freedom…. and how I am now, truly free.It was a very cool feeling indeed.
Telegraph | Entertainment | How lust shaped the art of Rodin To eyes accustomed to the conventions of beaux-arts classicism, the sculpture was shocking because it peeled off a layer of artifice to show the human body as it really is, not as his viewers expected to see it. From now on, Rodin would translate…
Last night was so great, the show looked fantastic, it had a great vibe. I think the main difference, for me, was that I felt much more confident in my collection. Seeing my paintings up there, the results of all my work, made me feel so good. I knew I had done my best, each…
I am so excited about tonight, I can’t believe it’s all here, and done and ready! yet, I don’t feel as panicky, or stressed or worried as the last one. I feel good about the work I’ve put in, and the prices, and everything. It feels right somehow. Today I am going to be disgusting…
One of the things I like to focus on is keeping my art accessible for everyone. Art doesn’t need to be obscure, just for artists, it can be something that speaks to everyone.. even good old joe on the corner. So, how do you bring art to the lowest common denominator? This works on the…
