Studio 31: A gift for a friend this summer

My Art

I call myself an artist. Graduating with my BFA in Art and Design in 2003 would probably qualify this statement for some. But, the challenge is in continuing to practice creativity when many responsibilities crowd in. After graduation, I set up a mural painting business and I continue to gain commissions on canvas and walls - but I haven't created a full personal portfolio of personal fine art, yet. This is my goal! My professional portfolio is available on my website at www.jbmurals.com.

At the start, this blog has a few different purposes for me. I want to be able to create my own artwork on a regular basis. My mural business keeps me pretty busy in addition to home schooling two of my four children! I am also looking forward to mutual encouragement from other artists!

In my fine art I love to incorporate collage and printing with paint. I am experimenting with a variety of media right now that I can't wait to share. I have a rich background of painting, ceramics, fiber and drawing. I favor bold, dark colors and abstracted designs. My hope is that movement is also apparent in my work with the aid of brush strokes and texture. I also love to explore different techniques to stimulate creativity. Inspiration comes to me from text, especially from the Bible, song, nature or anything unique that piques my interest. A love of layered meaning is hidden in my work. It is deeply personal.
