CALL for ENTRIES: Arizona Aqueous XXXI

Learn more about Arizona Aqueous XXXI from the Tubac Center of the Arts!WATER is essential.

People risk their lives to protect water, and where I live, people just lost their lives in want of water.  I live in Cobbly Nob in Gatlinburg. On Monday, we realized Webb Mountain was on fire.  As we fled our yard was on fire.  Amazingly, our house escaped unscathed.  The fear is/was real; we can talk about that later. I just can’t yet. In the meantime, here’s a call that wants WATER from you.  I appreciate this approach to watercolor. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from Tubac Center of the Arts (Tubac, AZ) for Arizona Aqueous XXXI.  Water media on paper + a contemporary juror = not an average watercolor show.  Take a look…

ARTIST of the DAY: Meghan Stratham

secretive, ISOLATED GIRLS

My own work has been a study in process & a lot of silhouettes these days. It is no wonder that I have completely fallen for the work of today’s Artist of the Day, Meghan Stratman. She has found a way to gives us little glimpse of the lives of folks like us…and not. Dark & sweet & funny & sad; idealized & unearthly people & creatures & those that lie between. I want to own this work. (continues below)

 Mrs White by Meghan Stratman, cut paper
Mrs. White by Meghan Stratman, cut paper

“I am drawn to stories and lore in all forms… Recurring subjects in my art include ghosts, girls, monsters, and animals, and themes of friendship and loneliness. I like to include bright colors and a sense of humor in my art and enjoy combining elements to humorous effect, such as badgers sporting fezzes or weasels wearing rocket packs. I am also drawn to urban decay, abandoned places, and ghost stories: people and places that are lost and forgotten. My art world is populated with secretive, isolated girls and silly creatures that may or may not be wearing space helmets. I create my work with cut, layered paper, which allows for a sense of texture and dimensionality.”
