Show opening today at @thenashvillefoodproject and I’m pretty proud of this new work! Even though I’ve mostly kept my head in the sand this summer and haven’t shared a lot on here (refreshing!), I appreciate everyone who has sent encouraging notes or messages. I love connecting with you over my work! Updated my artist statement to better reflect the new directions my work has taken and thought I would share.... everything (my art, my writing, my life in general) feels like it’s always a work in progress but stepping aside once in a while to recognize and feel good about the growth is necessary. “My painting is a vehicle to explore themes of identity, mothering, and personal growth. My aim is to expose the contradictions within my own identity; as one who wants to belong wholly to her family and wholly to herself, an artist with an intense commitment to a studio practice, and a mother who desires to spend her days at home with her children. In the paintings, “mother-forms” are abstracted to defamiliarize the body in order to better explore its presence. The figures are often built around a domed shape that suggests a mountainous form, nodding to the persistent and cyclical climbs of parenting, nature and metamorphosis. Roots, leaves, vines, and plants drawn with acrylic paint or pastel present as juxtaposing symbols of things we both cultivate, tend to, and care for, as well as rip, pull, hide within or try to remove.”

CURRENT ARTISTS STATEMENT“My painting style, in simple terms, is Abstract Realism…The two opposing genres, existing in one painting, represent where dreams and reality collide…that beautiful space where creation happens, just beyond the physical realm. My textures symbolize the desire to touch the world, making an imprint on it…a modern-day hieroglyph per se. The figures being portrayed are silhouettes, etched into this idea of making a mark on the world. They represent how the past influences who we become in the present moment. They are somewhat transparent illusions of individuality, actually being connected to a bigger picture. While painting, I question the nature of reality often, and the meaning of human existence… reflecting on the world being a mirage of something much deeper. It is much more spiritual in a sense - the innate human need for connection, and belonging to something greater than ourselves. My goal is to represent the human psyche in a kaleidoscope of color. Keeping in mind the deeper the shadows of life become, the brighter the light is on the other side. The process of creating art is what interests me - to enjoy the journey, with the destination as a goal. I’m not necessarily interested in what is made, but how it’s made.” Jon Wassom

Hi everyone, I feel the desire to further articulate my thoughts and feelings behind my work. Like many people, my entire life has been spent trying to understand the world around me and how it individually impacts everyone and every thing- a quest of which I will never complete. I’ve always held the belief that life and death are intertwined in a way that expands much further than just their polarity. I believe death isn’t only the punctuation of our lives but rather a necessary factor in our perception of everything around us. Without the finality of death there is no end and therefore no journey to accomplishing the goals and purposes we hold in life. Many people are afraid of death, afraid of the unknown and I created ScientificWoman with the goal to introduce some form of death to humans with science through means of educating artistically. Anatomy, chemistry, physics- these are all incredibly important branches of my work that I utilize as tools in order to physically create my pieces and accomplish my overall goal of providing an opportunity for individuals to examine death. My goal for ScientificWoman is multifaceted and as I am quickly approaching another anniversary of launching my work I’m coming to realize just how many facets this all has. I create pieces of biological art that I hope pique people’s curiosity of the inevitable, a form of my own memento mori laced with science. -M Dress by @vixen_by_micheline_pitt #scientificwoman #artiststatement #taxidermy #art #darkart #death #mementomori #deathpositive

Art and the narrative of man are bound to one another. We live to seek meaning, and I believe that art is the key to understanding the most intimate parts of our lives. I believe art has the power to change lives. I create art to give people comfort and hope in finding their narrative. My approach of experimentation, kaleidoscopic colors, and juxtaposition reflects the chaos and uncertainty of life. However, I believe we can find beauty even in the chaos. My life’s mission is to create for you. I hope our narratives cross paths in the grand story of life. ♥️ #artiststatement #instaart #instaartsy #instaartwork #instaartist #instaarthub #instaarte #instaart #art #artwork #artist #artgallery #me #self #fineart #artnews #creative #color #colour #arte #dibujo #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #artstudio #lindseykooymanart #dallasart #dallasartist

Here’s a scene from my studio (@kaylanbuteyn) before I shipped these pieces off to a group show. Today I am working on updating my artist statement and wanted to share a few tips for writing yours! This is just one way to go about writing a statement but it’s one that works for me. 1) Lay out the work you’re writing about and write as many adjectives + nouns as you can about the work. What does it look like? What forms are present? What techniques did you use? Just write everything you can about what it looks like and initially represents. 2) What/How/Why —Create a new page with these headings and under each write everything you can about the What of the work (the visuals, what you’re looking at), the How of the work (the process/how you made it) and the Why of the work (the ideas you're communicating, intention behind it). 3) Using the two exercises you just completed, try writing your statement! The words should already be there, now it comes time to piece them together effectively. Edit, edit, edit. Read it out loud. Edit some more. And make sure it represents the work! Was that helpful! Do you have any of your own tips for writing your artist statement you can share below? #writeaboutyourart#howtowriteanartiststatement#artiststatement#artistmotherco#artistmotherpodcast

Pretty much sums it up! I said this to a friend a while back. We were talking about dreams for the future and I was at a point where I wasn't sure what direction to take with my work. I hadn't yet discovered my obsession with florals and this statement just came out. I was thinking of our conversation just now while I was cleaning my workspace (getting ready to dive into a new piece) and you know what? This still applies. Maybe not a fancy artist statment but it's still true!  And I think it always will be. Life's hard enough, I want to bring a bit of joy to people's spaces. Simple as that.
