BETSY EBY'S STUDIO: 8 Inspirations



Remember my interview
with artist
Betsy Eby?

Thought you might appreciate
a glimpse of her
beautiful self
in poetic motion
and 8 ways to
draw inspiration
from her loveliness.

Inspiration No.1
The artist herself.
Contemplative in her island studio.

Thoughtful work executed on canvas.



Inspiration No. 3
Magical pigments.



Inspiration No. 4
Ripples in water.



Inspiration No. 5
Simple dropcloths.



Inspiration No. 6
Tranquil seclusion.



Inspiration No. 7
Natural light.


all images, Betsy Eby

Inspiration No. 8
Symphonies of expression.
(from Scales and Measures exhibit)

we learn
"Eby was born in a small coastal town in Oregon
where she was influenced early on by
the sea, forests and swamps.
She now shares her time between
Seattle and Maine.

Classical music, which she has practiced
since a young age, is a dominant influence
in her life and painting, contributing
to the rhythmic quality of her compositions.

Through a restraint in palette and nuance
of surface, Eby’s works exhibit a
luminous radiance.
In these paintings a meditation is
offered up to those who are willing."


Betsy's latest exhibit is
Arrangements.

I am maybe a little obsessed with
SHIPPING CONTAINERS
at the moment.


I stumbled upon photos of brilliant artist
Andrea Shapiro's
NY studio in the woods
created with, yes, shipping containers.



The budget was something like $60K,
and the architecture incorporates
two containers.



Her work, like her vision,
is lovely to behold.




Not sure if I'll ship out of suburbia
and check into my own
steel container.

It could happen though.

I blogged previously about
Shapiro's work

ANDREA SHAPIRO
has inspiring talent
and
the coolest studio in NY
constructed of shipping containers.

No, I'm not joking about the studio.
