American artist / illustrator Jennifer Orkin Lewis, aka @augustwren, is our ‘member in the spotlight’ today. Not only does she create her own artwork, Jennifer is also an author and workshop teacher extraordinaire… I mean, who wouldn’t want to do an art retreat in Mexico, Spain, Morocco, etc!? Okay, she has online courses too, but beautiful places and art just go soooo well together, yes?! YES! ps. That selfie self-portrait above was from one of Jennifer’s classes.
*Jennifer and artist Gayle Kabaker are almost always partners-in-art when it comes to these fabulous workshops. Hooray for art friends who are always up for doing fun stuff!
Here’s a fun tidbit for you on a Saturday… Create! Magazine’s latest CALL FOR ART is happening right now! Who’s the guest curator for issue No.42, you ask? It’s me!
“We are excited to announce an incredible opportunity for artists worldwide to showcase their work to a global audience and influential figures in the art world. Create! Magazine is now accepting submissions for Issue 42, curated by Danielle Krysa, aka The Jealous Curator. This is a fantastic opportunity for artists to get their work seen by a broad audience, including artists, curators, collectors, art professionals, and art enthusiasts. We understand the importance of visibility for emerging artists, and we are dedicated to offering this platform to help you gain the recognition you deserve. Submit your artwork now for a chance to be featured in our internationally distributed print and digital issue!”
YAY! It’s always such a treat to see so much great work all in one place… I hope to see yours in the mix. Have a wonderful weekend ~ Danielle
