I've always been a creative person. In high schoolhouse information technology was wheel thrown pottery. Back then, I ever hoped ane 24-hour interval to have a pottery wheel and kiln in my basement. Later on I experimented with dice-cutting paper crafting, and I've created several random, mixed media art pieces that now grace the walls of my home and those of my family. Several years back, I picked upward a paintbrush. I had some canvas lying around (intended for a project I never managed to get to), and six tubes of brightly colored acrylic paint. One day I started pushing the paint effectually on the sail, and well, that's where my "risk" started. I am a huge fan of bright, vivid colors. If you were to visit my home, you lot'd observe that the entire house is neutral. Walls, floors, carpeting, etc. Everything IN my business firm, withal, is an explosion of bright colors. I spend a lot of time now creating my vivid abstract images digitally. Never neutral, I create bright, whimsical abstruse art designed to add a smile and a large popular of colour to any room. Using nothing more than an iPad and a stylus, I create my vibrant digital paintings using various combinations of a dozen or more digital art apps, each of them adding a unlike dimension to the piece. The nature of digital art allows my work to exist reproduced onto a wide diverseness of substrates. Ask me about custom items such as phone cases, cutting boards, fleece blankets and more! Someone in one case asked what inspires me. I replied "I paint my daydreams" Every new canvas – traditional or digital – is a color adventure! All traditional acrylic paintings on the site are originals, one-of-a-kind, and are for sale (where noted). Digital artwork orders are printed on demand. If you see something you are interested in, please contact me! (I am located in the Kansas Urban center Metropolitan expanse)

My artwork is an opportunity to share my vision of the globe with the viewer. I am fascinated with nature, both flora and fauna. Many times the impression is expressed in a realistic rendering of an animal, flower or scene; at other times, it is an abstract work. The medium for nearly of my paintings is acrylic on canvas or board. When I want to piece of work in 3 dimensions, I am fatigued to exotic woods where I piece of work them into originally designed keepsake or jewelry boxes. For me, at that place is a magic in each piece of wood I hold in my paw. At this bespeak in my life, I am driven more than to express each new exciting object as I find them, rather than exploiting a single mode or management. I grew up in southern Missouri on a dairy and chicken subcontract. As long every bit I tin think, I have spent much of my complimentary time cartoon or painting. Mayhap growing upward on a farm and being surrounded by nature made an early and lasting impression on me. My adult career began as an artist for Authentication Cards.

Katie Seymour

Animals have been used in art as metaphors and referends for human experiences and emotions since the beginning of time. They are sources of comfort, wisdom, bliss, tragedy, insight and survival yet we frequently have advantage of and abuse these very animals as well equally their environments for our own benefit and comfort. My work stems from this ironic animal-human dichotomy and strives to challenge the viewer to accept a more than profound look at how hands we betray the ecosystem thus negatively impacting the very matter that sustains our own survival. Through this concept I aim to abet that our apathetic actions paralleled with their organic susceptibility are not just occurring in a distant zone of war, but rather at the heart of our very own domestic and intimate lives. By saving them, we relieve ourselves. By destroying them, we destroy ourselves.
