I am so excited to have my friend and fellow art teacher, Elizabeth, join me today to talk about how art is a way to engage yourself with your community and your surroundings. She is a very special person who has taught me so much about the healing power of art, how we can use art to engage in healing, how it can be a tool to inspire change and change in others, and how art connects us with our spiritual selves.
Elizabeth has been working with me on the art therapy that we are developing and the art we have created together. We are focusing on creating art that takes on new forms of healing for our community. This has been very inspirational to me as I am still learning to live my life as an artist, something I have always dreamed of, but something I am also working hard to do.
Art has been in my life for a long time. In my early 20s I was a student of a famous French painter and sculptor and found myself intrigued by his work. I was drawn to his use of color, which I thought was new for my life. I also found that he wasn’t afraid to use his brush to make things more abstract, like I was. The next year I moved to Paris and was drawn to all of the abstract expressions he created.
I had always loved the idea that art could be more than just a collection of visual effects. So in 2008 I started my own studio and got my first commissions from the likes of Guillaume Depardieu, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and David Bazan. These artists all said that the things I did were beautiful. Not only that, but they used the same paint colors with similar themes. I was very excited about this and decided to get serious about it.
As part of my studio’s mission, I painted a mural that featured the faces of the people I painted. I painted their faces in a series of colors, and I created a piece of artwork for them that was a combination of the colors I created for them. I was lucky enough to get commissions for a series of paintings, all done in the same colors. Each painting ended up being a portrait of a different person, so it was never the same painting twice.
I was also lucky enough to receive a commission from one of my favorite artists, Jeff Koons. I asked him to paint me a portrait and he did it. It is stunning.
Jeff Koons is my favorite artist ever, and I love his work.
One of the things I love about Jeff Koons is that he is very specific in what he likes and doesn’t like, and he doesn’t care too much if you like it or not. He just wants you to like it. So while I may have been very specific about colors, I was very open about what I didn’t like. I also told him about my own color scheme and his color scheme, and he did a really great job. It’s a beautiful piece.
To create a color scheme, you need to know what it is you want to paint, and then what colors you like and dont like. Thats why you need to do an artist’s consultation, because you just can’t go around painting all of the colors you like and then see if you like them. But you can take a stab at what you want to paint, and then go back and do a color consultation with the artist.
So the artist makes a list of colors that they like and dont like, and then the artist paints it for you. It turns out that the artist paints a lot of different colors for socal arts. But I still love it! We see a lot of different art styles, and this is the best of the bunch. The color work is very beautiful. I also really like the way the backgrounds are painted. They look very modern and clean. The shading is very realistic too.
