My first memorable art piece was a hippie/folk embroidery that I started working on while travelling with a Buddhist spiritual group in Europe in the 70s. I was going to give it to the “Guru” when it was done (it took months to complete), but then met my future husband and gave it to him instead!
When I was trying to come up with the title of this post, beyond Mr. Stilletto’s name, I found myself, well, speechless. That isn’t an easy feat, I might add. I always have difficulty trying to describe an artist with two words. Granted, that is a self-imposed limitation, but I try to have a little fun with it, nonetheless.
I was very struck by Mr. Stilletoo’s art, but also his way with words. It seems that his expression, be in graphical or the communication art, emanates his essence. Read with me, will you, in the words of the artist, himself…
I really enjoyed this interview with Benson Simmonds. Honestly, I enjoy all these interviews! I never cease to learn something and be inspired, not only by the exceptional art, but the people behind the art.
Mr. Simmonds is no exception. His style of abstract art causes room for examination and interpretation and draws further appreciation of each piece, individually, and collectively. And, Mr. Simmonds’ contagious positive attitude is appealing. Well, you all know how much I am into hugs and positive thinking, so possibly that is what I sense when I look at the art of Benson Simmonds.
Join with me, in learning about Mr. Simmonds, in his own words…
Ms. Schreiber is a delightful person (love her sense of humor and wonderment!), as well as a delightful artist. As with many artists, it was hard to choose which pieces to show in this interview! She excels in so many areas, that you cannot label her with just one. But then, as creative creatures, that is one of the aspects that makes us what we are.
“Painter of Memories” is an apt description for the art of Christopher Clark. His art brings emotion and feeling to life. One can feel the breeze when viewing his image, here. One can taste the sand, and feel the warmth of the sun. This is talent, my friends, to be able to interpret the event, memory, in a way that allows the viewer to experience it… even when it is not their memory that inspired the original painting. Come, learn about Mr. Clark, and his talent and thoughts on his own art and the art world, as it relates to the community.
