Dusting off the website
In late August I found out that my proposed piece for Por Vida V had been accepted. I immediately began working out the details of the sketches I had completed earlier. This wasn't just a painting, it was going to be seven and they were all going to be connected together somehow. Many late nights came and went and just a few days before the deadline we received a week extension. That was a great weight off my back and it allowed me to give some extra attention to the remaining details.Easily the most personal piece of art I have ever created. I'm very happy with how it came together and manifested my vision of it.
"Hope and Strength" - Acrylic, thread and feathers. 27 x 50 inches
Por Vida is an annual show/event that applies a contemporary take on the traditional Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos (Day of The Dead). Por Vida integrates a themed and curated art exhibit, food and drink, music and installation spaces. It was created by Columbus, Ohio artist Kat Marie Moya who I have known for over 14 years.
