art delivery : 05.13.23 (take 2!)

Ooops… forgot to send this to EVERYONE, so I’m sending it again!

Oooh, swooshes and drips, lines and patterns! Today’s artsy member in the spotlight is San Francisco based mixed media artist Heather Robinson:

“My painting practice is fundamentally an exploration of surface through pattern, color, and texture. I have a magpie-like attraction to bright, colorful, decorated objects, but an orderly mind, a love for the grid and a strong schooling (from my architectural design studies) to mistrust the superficial. These contradictory urges come together in my paintings. I work in many layers of acrylic media, starting with a repeating fabric design at the base and adding elements both rigid and planned (geometric stencil repeats) and loose and unplanned (drips, washes, crackled layers).”

Beautiful! Heather’s available work is on her site, and you can find her on Instagram at @hnrfineart.

Yep, tomorrow is not only Mother’s Day, it’s also my birthday… a big one. I thought sharing this painting by Philly based artist Katherine Fraser was an excellent way to celebrate! My family asked what I wanted to do on “my special day”. Easy. I WANNA MAKE ART ‘N EAT CAKE. Siiiiiigh, that truly sounds like a perfect Mother’s Day / Birthday. Are you wondering what to get me? Well, I love art, potato chips, and people subscribing to this newsletter {hint hint}…

Happy weekend ~ Danielle ; ) xo
