Detail shot of yesterdays Affordable Art: "Necessary Solitude"
collected by Damon Dycus
Yesterday was a full day meeting with spaces that want to host my art. First stop was Baylor Health Sciences Library who just completed renovations and are launching a new program of showing local emerging artists in North Texas. It's a sweet library with two big walls to fill with my bright canvases. Excited about this project as a lot of my work is inspired by health, science and the well being that art and Nature provide for us. I have recently been told my art was bought because "it makes me happy" or that "it has a healing quality". Some have said my art is "peaceful" and is put in spaces where some peace is needed (like work spaces!) Art is good therapy for your spirit. Colors will change your mood. I love that I can strike some kind of chord within another person and brighten their day, bring them a little peace or make them feel good. That's amazing! For me it is a meditative, healing, therapeutic NECESSARY thing to do this everyday. So the fact it is flowing from me to you- I can't think of a more perfect thing I could put into the world. My work is a daily reminder of the natural world, how we are connected to it intrinsically. It implores you to please go outside and enjoy the benefits of it.
After meeting with Baylor it was off to Art-Centric in the Design District where the lovely proprietor and amazing artist Robin Ann Walker gave me a sweet tour of the gallery, showroom and studio. I want that studio! It is so huge and organized and has a great vibe to create in. I dropped two wanted pieces off to her and hopefully will get some interest to do some hotel projects and work. Then it was home to complete the Affordable Art painting and get it posted.
Yesterdays Affordable Art was collected by Damon Dycus who had been patiently waiting for another bunny to pop out of my studio.
Super excited to have his wish fulfilled. A full day of making plans, getting work placed and creating. I am fully living out my dream as a working professional artist and am thrilled my works are finding new homes daily. Yesterday my friend Carlin left a very sweet remark on facebook which basically said that she loved that she could see my piece and without even seeing my name she knew it was one of mine. I have my own style, my own recognizable style. I have been working for this for a very long time!
Meeting with a customer and friend to get his record art to him and it's back to the canvases, I'm hoping to have this new piece finished by this weekend!
Happy Friday, have a great weekend!
