If I need an image I go to Google Images, right click > Save as, we all do it! Often I save an image for my ‘inspiration’ folder or because I will use it as a reference for drawing specific items; and that is just fine because the use of the image stays within my home and I do not use it for any commercial purposes.

Art is one of the great ways to learn about oneself. In immersing ourselves in playing with colours, we reach places that are not easily found in our busy lives. The beauty of going there via art is that it is utterly fun: colored pencils in hand, we simply reconnect to a child-like state, open untethered and free to express. On the other hand art can also be a cathartic process when we feel...

I recently exhibited my art in the US for my first solo show in Boulder Colorado. While I’ve been on road trips in the US many times, this was a first crossing the border with artwork in my van.

The work of Marilyn Hamilton is truly aesthetic as it brings the intelligence of nature into the...

I paid a local marketing expert that specializes in social media to teach me individually about all the tricks of the trade (her name is Lynn Martin from Mark Us Marketing) . We ended up spending 5 hours together and she taught me how to bring my client database into...

Sometimes seemingly good opportunities can be guaranteed disappointment in disguise. I first heard about this Louvre exhibition because a local artist was invited by an agent to Paris with her art. She is a very talented artist that paints in the style of the old masters and I thought that her art was a great fit for the Louvre. I never thought for a second that my art could be considered for...
