- Here’s how the pieces looked in the gallery thanks to the amazing work of the Seymour Art Gallery curators.
- This scan is kinda crummy, but I wanted to play with the idea of two dimensional characters becoming real.
- As I began to approach this year’s show, I came to realize I hadn’t often produced work that my daughter might enjoy. I set about to correct that, and have a gentler tone to my work.
- Another poor scan, but I was happy with the shimmer of the hair, even if the character ended up looking older than I had wished.
I recently took part in the Seymour Art Gallery’s START WITH ART exhibition. These are the pieces I submitted this year. It’s a wonderful event, and I consider myself fortunate to have been asked back again this year.
In previous years, the pieces I submitted had very hard edges, and bold blocky colour. This year I wanted a softer more gentle approach to colour, and indeed subject matter.
I love the premise behind Start With Art, that you’re never too young to begin cultivating the appreciation of art, or to own a piece you like. My love of art began at a young age, so I’m thrilled to take some small part in that process for a young person today. I hope the collectors enjoy the pieces they bought.
Thanks for reading, I love you.
