So yet again, I am redesigning my website. I think this is like changing clothes for me. Good thing I sleep with my webmaster, ha! So this is my new front page. As I am enlarging my licensing portfolio-I have really been making a business plan for myself and that included asking myself "what exactly do I do?' On the surface that would be easy to answer, I do art. But I dug a bit deeper-what kind of art, what am I communicating with my work? What adjectives best describe my look? Well after jotting down a lot of notes. I kept coming back to the words-fresh and clever. I ditched words like cute and whimsy-ugh! I always felt my color palette was fresh. Even when I work on the computer, my watercolor color mixing sensibilities take hold of me-muddy is NOT my thing. Also, I HOPE that I problem solve my design and illustration assignments with a clever perspective. If nothing else-I should ask myself when I finish a piece, is it clever? Am I bringing something slightly different to the table? I have always had this thing about seeing a piece of art-whether it is a book cover, in a magazine or even art on a serving dish, I like it to bring a small smile to my face. I sometimes imagine the artists reaction when they completed the work and realized that it worked. Even the most simple art can work and I like that. Anyway, this is my new front page...it should be up in a week or two but I like it so I thought I would post it. Fresh Art to Go. That's me! Call me , buy it, pack it and take it with you!
