  • “I am at my greatest center of peace and inspiration as I discover locations to document, creating sketches on the spot, and returning to the studio to create new bodies of work,” explains René Shoemaker, whose silk paintings are inspired by exploration and travel. “This work often makes its way back to the place where it was gathered, as I love to share these works with the people inhabiting the very spaces I interpret. I believe that the beauty surrounding us often becomes an afterthought when we experience it every day. From the perspective of an outsider, I am fortunate to bring attention to the beauty I see.” Hear the story behind “Rue de Silence” and more from our Featured Artist of the Week on Discovery, then be sure to follow @rene.shoemaker.art. - - - - - #artworkarchiveartist #originalart #artworkarchive #paintingonsilk #travelpainter #cityscape #architecture #architectureart #colorfulart #frenchart #silkpainting #georgiaartist #frenchartist #calledtobecreative #fineart #workingartist #artinventory #artbusiness #artbiz

  • “The Last Supper” by Rosemarie Adcock. In her Biblical paintings, Rosemarie seeks to teach several stories at once by showing how and why images and symbols connect across the many pages in the Old and New Testament. She says, “Ultimately, it is my desire to draw my viewers into the beauty of a colorful composition as though they were entering a new world. It is also my passion to share an ancient faith in a fresh and vibrant way, displaying a part ancient, part future story, wherein we dwell connected to the entire narrative.” Check out more of her colorful scenes on Discovery (link in bio), and follow @rosemarieadcock to see more! - - - - - #artworkarchiveartist #originalart #artworkarchive #oilpainting #biblicalpainting #figurativeart #religiousart #religiouspainting #symbolicart #figurativepainting #colorfulart #contemporaryart #fineart #calledtobecreative #workingartist #artinventory #artbusiness #artbiz

  • In her painting practice, Michelle Heron documents the rapidly changing British high street, especially the fast disappearing old shops: “I have a fondness for painting old shops that are closing down. I try to capture the individuality and charm of these places before they are lost to modern development. Now, almost every time I take a photo or make a painting of a building, within weeks it’s either being painted over or has closed down, even if it stood vacant for years. I like the idea that I’m immortalizing these places in paint, but at the same time I’m sad that the high street is changing so rapidly—and not just in London.” We love Michelle’s efforts to preserve a little bit of history!

  • “Periwinkle Petals” by Jeanne Dentzel. Here’s a look at her creative process: “Upon awakening at dawn I go into my studio and paint. I work in a state of wonder and am surprised as the images arise of their own accord, at which point, I either accept them or push them back into obscurity. The final work collapses the distance between abstraction and realism. Making art is a thread that connects all of life’s events and reveals the essence of who I am,” describes Jeanne.

  • As an abstract expressionist based in LA, Laura Letchinger creates large paintings with an urban industrial, street/graffiti edge. “I lived in Chicago for years, in Wicker Park before major gentrification, and soaked up graffiti almost every day while running and biking long distances,” remembers Laura. “Layers of new vibrant colors over old fading compositions on top of even older brick buildings created a really fantastic visual—the energy of it, the unknown stories behind it, resonated.” In 2013 she began painting, and now there’s no stopping her!

  • “As a subject, I have always loved the human figure—every curve or every wrinkle is part of the person’s story. I like to imagine their lives, then I use those imaginary stories to get ideas for my paintings,” admits watercolor artist Taryn Curiel. “In my current work, I use the human figure as part of my primary subject matter, but I don’t want it to be very obvious. I want the viewer to understand the story on their own terms, so I add geometric elements to represent windows peeking through the human figure’s story. The audience can see through the window looking in or from the inside looking out. Each piece communicates an emotional personal narrative that I hope to intrigue the viewer.” What do you see when you look at Taryn’s work? Tell us in the comments!

  • Despite being perpetually covered in wool, addicted to lip gloss, and smelling occasionally like a damp sheep, Wendy Franklin is quickly becoming well known in the contemporary fiber world for her innovative use of materials, strong color, and design. Her mixed media series begins with a textural underpainting, then hand-dyed silk is layered and wrapped over the entire canvas, adhered with medium and allowed to dry. Next, additional elements and markings are made on top of the silk and the entire piece is sealed. The sheerness and luminosity of the silk allows the underpainting to show through, creating a depth that is not found in traditional paintings. What a beautiful technique!

  • “Pattern and Hue” by Philip Frey. This Maine artist paints from direct perception, preferring the dynamic quality, richness, and challenges of working from life. “If I do have an agenda,” Philip admits, “it's to softly persuade myself and my audience to slow down, relax and enjoy the fullness of our experience.” And that’s exactly how we feel when we look at his paintings!
