I Know My Father Loves Meby Sally DeFordI had the remarkable opportunity to assist a very talented composer with one of her newest songs. With only lyrics to go on, I was inspired to create several illustrations. Then when it was all put together, I was so moved to see my art put to such beautiful words and music. It is amazing how much power music adds to pictures and the written word. Please take a moment to visit her site: www.defordmusic.com.
The BrasterpieceTitled “Lilybra”, I created this bra for The Painted Bra Art Projectwhich raised money for the Liz Hurley Breast Cancer Fund at Huntsville Hospital Foundation. It encouraged artists to donate a painted bra that was later sold in an online auction. Bras were received from artists from all over the world. By the end of the project, over ten thousand dollars had been raised for this great cause!
Jesus Feeding the Multitude10’ x 30’ mural viewable at: The Salvation Army305 Seminole Drive Huntsville, AL This appropriately themed mural is located on the back wall of the Salvation Army’s dining room. I undertook this project with another great artist, and good friend, Vicki Garner. We donated many months to this wonderful organization that does so much good for our community: they feed anyone who stops by, provide emergency shelter, and help with drug and alcohol reovery.
Resources for ArtistsZhaoming WuOne of my favorite artists, Zhaoming Wu is the master of the lost and found edge. I took part in his video workshop which was an invaluable experience. I recommend it to all painters. Since art videos can be so expensive, I highly recommend smartflix.com. Now you can rent those videos instead of buying them. It make much more sense for the starving artist.
For Artists: Workshopswith Richard RobinsonI’ve documented the progression of one of my paintings from a workshop held in November of 2011.These workshops are conducted online which make them affordable and accessible to student artists all over the world. Richard is one of my favorite teachers and also hosts The Complete Artistwhere you’ll find a wonderful and supportive community of artists.
Art ShowsTraveling the outdoor art show circuit is the number one way I reach my clients. I really enjoy meeting so many new people this way.The annual Monte Sano Art Show is one of my favorites in the area. Held each year in September, I hope to see you there!
