Pop-up Art!

I was recently accepted to present an art exhibit with C4 Atlanta (yeah me!). If you haven't heard of C4 Atlanta its a non-profit arts service organization whose mission is to connect arts entrepreneurs to the people, skills and tools they need to build a successful artistic career in metro Atlanta. I have benefited from the information, exhibits and networking opportunities they provide to artists and I look forward to presenting this exhibit.

I have been collecting ideas before i knew about the opportunity to exhibit. But in todays blog i want to speak on inspiration.

Everywhere I go, I see. It's the curse and blessing of being a visual artist. I see people alot because that is what I like to draw. But especially when I travel I am more aware of seeing architecture and landscape changes.   People, places, things all become a part of what you see in my work.

In July I travelled by van from Georgia to Arizona with family and a little children (geesh!!). It was indeed an experience. I got to experience a piece of Navajo culture, see the landscape changes of our beautiful U.S., and at a distance see the borders between us and them (Mexico/U.S.).   I say "us and them" because of debates in recent news reports. I personally believe in a universal "we" - but i digress....

Anyway, the image here came to me in a dream....just the feet.  The series I am working on is underdevelopment, but i am often lead by my dreams. This is just something that I saw while I slept and it will likely be worked over to become a part of the whole.

It's gonna be a lot of work this year, but i can't wait.

Stay tuned....
