Also known as the Museum... a place to display art, particularly paintings, drawings, and sculptures-sometimes installations. A silly, yet completely logical concept. I wonder what my life would be like without these architectural features. Yet all of this thinking about museums and muses led me to thinking about my own inspirations...
Music plays a huge role in my art-making. I feel like I have to be listening to music or else I can't create - it's that simple. I'm always looking to find new and inspiring music, but sometimes the classics can do it for me...
Right now, Lady Gaga is my muse. She's crazy and fabulous and I love it.
I'm hoping to eventually do a painting inspired by her. But for the time being, I'm more interested in abstraction. I'm currently working on several series, experimenting with a few different types of painting in preparation for my thesis next year.
The painting that started it all was a text-based painting that was born from a landscape, and then I turned it on it's side to make it a text-based abstract painting. If you look closely enough, you'll see that it says 'BOOM'... I say that with some regret because once I mention the text, you cannot see much beyond that, and you will be stuck making the word. Maybe eventually I'll make a GAGA painting...
The other series I'm doing is a series of commissions-they are all realistic paintings. I do not get the same gratification from them as I do from my abstract paintings.
Currently, I'm working on some 'found' paintings that I've painted on... there will be more to come about those paintings.
I'm in the process of gathering materials to make a book based on my inspirations. Including the miss Lady Gaga and the many artists that I look to for inspiration.
