Deli Paper Explorations

9/28/2019

I have a stack of deli paper that has been sitting on my shelf so I've decided to explore ways to create color and pattern, using the paints, stamps and stencils in my stash.

I started with alcohol inks and then used stencils to add metallic acrylic paints.  After they dried, I started adding pattern with stamps I made myself, using StazOn stamp inks (because they are permanent).

​I love the way these turned out and will now find ways to use these transparent papers in my art.

Street Art

Sometimes, we see art and think we know what it means.  At least, we know if we like it or hate it. But knowing the real stories behind the artist's motivation can change our views and experience.

I loved this piece since it dealt with text.  But after meeting the artist, Shannon Galpin, I saw this in a different light.  When I asked her to talk about her piece, she told me that she was stalked for several years.  the person stalking her sent her letters.  Some threatening, some filled with rage, and some filled with professed love.  She decided to take some words from the "love" letters and pasted them on a wall during Denver's annual CRUSH event where artists come from all over the country to paint the buildings and alleys of the RiNo area.

Shannon is a fascinating person with many interests and passions.  I encourage you to visit her website and read about her.  She is a person I wish I knew better.

Artist Spotlight:  Diana Fox

My good friend, Diana Fox, has a solo exhibit at the Foothills Art Center in Golden, Colorado.  

I attended her opening reception and was amazed at the power of seeing many of her pieces exhibited together.  Diana dyes all her own fabrics and the colors were subtle, her compositions bold, and her artistic expression clear.

In fact, I bought a small piece I loved called Tweet Storm.  Not only for it's contemporary name in today's environment, but for the energy and colors that made my heart sing.  I wanted to acquire the large piece shown in this photo but it was already sold! ;-(

If you live in Colorado or are coming to visit, don't miss this exhibit!  Her are the details:

CRUSH!

Every year, Denver hosts an art event called CRUSH.  This event allows artists to paint buildings all through the RiNo art district.  this year, the artists were even PAID!  Yeah!

One of my friends applied and was accepted and here is a photo of the fabric flowers she made and attached throughout all the streets and alleys in the RiNo district.  

Susan Dillon constantly amazes me with her creativity, innovative approach to fiber art, and upbeat attitude towards life.

Check out her website here.

​I wonder what the penalty would be for one of these fabulous flowers to somehow fall into my tote bag.  Just asking!

Art Drop Day

Every year, on the first Tuesday of September, artists participate in "Art Drop Day" all over the world.  I believe this is the 5th year I've been participating but honestly, have lost count.

This is a fun event for me, the artist, and people who discover my art as a gift.

Let's face it.  I make a LOT of art.  And now that I'm making books and journals instead of 5' x 6' fiber art, it's a lot easier to give away!

Recently, I've been fooling around with making journals from file folders and having fun with paints, sprays, and surface texture mediums.  For this one, I added some coordinated tags to fit into the pockets.

If you live in Denver (or nearby), I will be giving you the exact places where my art will be tomorrow so you can get a head start!

All my pieces will be in Cheesman Park.  I like to sleep in late on most days so I won't be delivering my packages until 10am.  Here's where I will stash my art, starting at the Pavilion, then dropping in the  rose garden, children's play ground, round bench near the 12th Ave bus stop, and the bus stop bench.

If you don't find any of my pieces, keep your eyes open and check out the Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArtDropDenver/ to see where other artist gems can be found.  Happy Hunting!
