I don't currently have access to the tools I would need to stretch my own canvases. This means, if I want to work on something sturdy, I'm limited in size (since I also don't have access to tons of money which could be spent on shipping large prestretched canvases). Since neither power tools or bags of money seem to be on the horizon, I'm giving unstretched canvas a try. Honestly, it feels so good to be painting big again, I don't really give a hoot whether or not these works will hold up over time.
another round of indigo dying
New indigo tea towel sets are in the shop! Here's a little peek into the dying process:
East Coast inspiration
I spent two weeks back east, visiting with an overwhelmingly lovely amount of family and all the while being inspired by the landscapes and natural beauty surrounding me. Here are some textures found on a walk in Walden Woods.
Instant Art Gallery kit
Exhibiting in galleries could be considered an essential characteristic of a "professional" artist. My historical lack of interest in this area of the art world has resulted in a significant gap in my c.v.
To increase the chances of having my work exhibited, I have created the Instant Art Gallery. Each kit includes 4 prints of my artwork to be installed as desired.
Curators are invited to tag shows on social media, so that I may keep track of which shows I've participated in. #instantartgallery
A couple more desert pots
Fired before my trip, but since it will be a couple of weeks before I have new ceramic work, I'll post these lovelies to tide us over :)
the Marrakech Biennale: MB6
Such fortune to be in Marrakech during their Biennale. Here are a few of my favorites:
Walls of Morocco
In addition to the intentional street art, I found the walls of Morocco to be beautiful and filled with stories of their own.
Street Art in Morocco
I wasn't sure what I would find, as far as Street art, in Morocco. In the spring of 2015, Rabat hosted Jidar: Street Canvas, and this year, Marrakech opened its walls up to artists as part of its 6th Biennale. These are sanctioned and complex pieces, but I found a few simple ones during my visit too.
Paris Street Art IV
Paris Street Art III
Paris Street Art II
Drizzles turned into sunny skies. Perfect weather for rambling. Found many faces on the streets of Paris today. See yesterday's collection of street art finds too: http://www.funkhouserdesign.com/stories/2016/2/22/paris-street-art-i
Paris Street Art I
Rue Quincampoix, a tiny street near the Pompidou, proved to be a jackpot for street art this morning! Here are a few of my favorites...
