“My biggest hope for each work I do is to have it pull on the hearts of the person looking at it; to evoke their emotions in the deepest ways and have them see the beauty in things they never knew was there. To feel the love that I put into each piece.”
The Art Studio is working with our local community mental health providers to promote health, healing and wellness through artistic self-expression. Individuals of all ages, education, and walks of life are called to participate in our second annual “The Art of Mental Health” art exhibition. The theme will focus on the artists’ personal experience with mental wellness and using art as a healthy way to cope.
The elements of design, balance, color, composition, and style all come into play when there is a competition for limited gallery space. Additionally, acceptance into the exhibition provides exposure and possible purchases of your work. Exhibitions are a big part of an artist’s resume and competing in shows gives an artist credibility and puts their work in front of the public.
I would say my art is close to “Fauvism” style; vivid colors and simplified subjects. I paint on canvas, material, metal, and wood wood with acrylics. This show, I do have some sea glass with epoxy pieces. I have a wide range of subjects I like to paint, but ocean animals are my favorite. While making no attempt to illustrate actual sea life in my painting, I want my creations to look alive. Living with beautiful works of art, reminds us to slow down and reconnect with nature, even if it’s just for a moment.
In the intricate interplay between the tangible and speculative, Dylan Newton, recognized as Picklefig in the art world, photographs a world where the present and future converge seamlessly.
