  • Jessica Fields

    Jessica Fields is a South Carolina artist (and teacher) primarily creating landscapes and still life artwork. Her choice to use a palette knife (pictured below with her paintings) creates texture and interest in her pieces. One benefit of adding texture in this way is it creates a sense of movement in her landscapes. These paintings […]

  • Dan Lam

    Resin artist Dan Lam has truly honed her craft with this tricky medium! Her poured resin sculptures look like something you might find in a rainbow-colored cave. Lam has an eye for color combinations and adding just the right amount of shine to create visual interest in her pieces. She also creates “blobs” like the […]

So much that I decided to go ahead and share some of her rainbow-colored paint daub compositions. These look SO simple, but I know that the color mixing and arrangement take a lot […]

  • Emily Mann

Which of the colors below is your favorite? I’m partial to the chartreuse green (in between the mustard yellow and sky blue). I am in love with […]

  • Sue Francis

    When you take a slow look at the work below, what three words immediately come to mind? These are the bold abstract paintings created by Australian artist Sue Francis. Rather than trying to recreate a specific image, abstract artists like Sue use shapes, colors and spontaneous gestures to convey an idea. Share the three words […]
