Telling Your Artist Story

Stop hating conversation and communicate your passion.

Featured Artist Peter Blanchard

I give the viewer a doorway into their own moment of wonder, where they may experience the same sense of peace that I found when I was creating the image.

Featured Artist Bob Pennycook

As I paint a landscape, I’m reminded of certain characteristics that reflect the human condition. I’m reminded of strength, nurture, change and urgency.

Portfolio Review: Do You Have These Issues?

I recently spoke with three artists who sought feedback on their portfolios. Each one faced different challenges.

My new paintings reflect the diverse energies and characters of New York City. Each painting is a new opportunity to explore the balance of dark and light and beauty we each hold within us.

3D Printing for Artists

This gives artists a huge menu of options for creating original sculpture, maquettes or even materials for use in building large assemblages or installations.

Featured Artist Mark DeMent

I enjoy artwork that leads someone to create their own backstory. I find it fun to see if I can create a piece that someone would want to know enough of the story surrounding it that they would complete the story for themselves.

Featured Artist Ann Cheeks

The breathtaking beauty of our world is a gift to experience and my painting is an attempt to capture and share this. For me, it’s all about getting to a place that feels, well, right.

My artistic work connects to childhood, fairytales, and symbols, crafting a bridge that everyone can cross.

How Art is Juried … and How to Get Better Results

Show your best art. When presenting a whole portfolio, you will be judged on the weakest piece of work that you have.

Featured Artist Sylvia Ditchburn

Fieldwork is very rewarding as I can put more feeling into my art. I have to work quickly because of the changing light and this forces me to be spontaneous. My work ends up being full of energy and colour.

Featured Artist Beatrice Lebreton

My work has progressively developed into the narrative and creating stories. I use it as a means of communication, focusing on symbolism and metaphors.

Featured Artist Mark Larson

My goal as an artist is to instill a sense of wonder and mystery, and ask questions that might help people see our connection to the natural world and to each other in a fresh new way.
