Three years.
How have I developed.
Mastering the random.
Learning the layering.
Understanding that the work I do represents how my mind works.
Being married to a systems engineer I see how I don't think. I don't connect all the dots. I can look at all the dots and try and put them together in a balanced way.
Art is how I make sense of this life.
Realizing what I want for someone who is looking at my work.
What I want for someone who is looking at my work is for that someone to go places.
Places not always defined by me.
I am working in clay again. Ecstatic is the adjective I use to describe how that makes me feel.
Still finding my way around, relearning technique, realizing where I want to go with the medium.
I am spending a lot of time at Virginia Beach M.O.C.A It is a wonderful place to work. The space itself is fantastic. The people, very willing to share ideas, techniques, and observations.
I will be posting some new work very soon.
About Me
- Anita
- This blog is an experiment designed to explore and share my creative process as an artist. It has taken me 35 years to be able to say, with some conviction; I am an artist. Mostly self-taught, although I have had some good advice over the years from some artists, posing as teachers. I work from the mind out. As my seven-year old niece said, "Some artists paint flowers or houses, but Aunt Anita paints the other side." I like to experiment and learn something new with each painting I do. I want to express on my canvas what a good storywriter expresses with words.
