Little Big Show — for Charity

October 17th, 2008 by brandi

I was asked to donate some of my artwork for a show in Ottawa.  The show was held at Milk and all proceeds go to The Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa.

I sent “The Meeting” and a work on paper as well.  I hope lots of money was generated for a good cause!  I am flattered to be in the company of so many really great artists.

Check out Design This Design That PDF magazine.

It's chock full of wonderful artwork, take time.

I have an interview.
Here's the 'transcript':

1.Tell us a little about you and what you do besides Etsy.
I make lots of art, take lots of pictures, listen to lots of music, work in an office part time, swim when I can, cook, look at everyone else’s artwork online.

2.When did art/illustration become part of your life?
I’ve been making art since I was really little. My parents encouraged it, and it was one of my favorite classes in school. I got more serious about it in high school and declared it as my major when I got to college.

3.What is the inspiration behind your work?
I’m inspired by life I guess. Trying to understand it, figure it out. I suspect that all my work is autobiographical, even when it seems really abstract.

4.Which technique do you use the most in your work?
Collage, hands down.

5 Which technique would you like to learn or that you already know but jus haven´t had the opportunity to apply to your work?
I took a little bit of printmaking in college. I wish I could learn everything about screen printing.

6.Why do you think the piece you chose is so representative of your work?
I make lots of these ‘simple’ collages. I really do enjoy nearly all methods of art making, but these collages are my favorite. I think they’re my strongest works, and definitely my personal favorites.

7. Please tell us something we would be surprised to know about you.
That office I work in--it’s at a plumbing company. I know more about water systems than your average artist. :)
