A translation for the SoJie 14 workshop

This was a piece inspired by Anthea Slade’s beautiful piece, ‘Be Careful What You Wish For’.

She reveals just enough to entice
But not enough to answer all the questions
She provokes us to think
She stimulates us to feel as
She is hidden and unexplained

-Anthea Slade

Here are the WIP images. It was such a pleasure to work with this piece…thank you Anthea so much. Instantly I felt a connection to this piece. As of late, I have not been able to visit my art store to buy any new materials. I have been saving charcoal and pastels for irresistible urges. So for this piece I used a variety of mixed materials such as pastels, charcoal, coffee, and toothpaste.

The only title I felt could possibly go with this piece, would be ‘Anthea’…

Final piece…

Media Used: pastels, charcoal, coffee, toothpaste on mi-tientes paper 12 × 18

This piece is very important to me, I seem to have lost inspiration this past summer…times are hard now, but I am looking to my art once again for solace…I really did enjoy working on this piece through the sojie 14 workshop. It brought my work back to life. I have found solace again. It feels like a new day…

Here all the recent features from the past 3 days on my redbubble site!  I am reaching a new peak of over 20 features a week!  Thanks to everyone for all the support and love!  xoxo

Inspired by my anxiety…I feel as though this piece reflects all the energy I spend processing information, mulling over things, trying to get my creative ideas together. Often it is hard sometimes to gather my thoughts because of my anxiety. I sometimes get this rush of an unexplainable surge that sends a tingle throughout my body….my artwork is a way I use to help get rid of the tingling surge I get….

I started working on this piece at 10:00pm and did not finish until 1:00am.

Media Used: charcoal, pastels on charcoal paper 18 × 24
