Monday, June 4, 2007

It's only Monday, but it is never too early to look to the weekend.

Visit artist Angela Prond and other talented artists at the Summer 2007 Art Market. June 9th and 10th between 10am-5pm at 200 Grant St. in Denver.

Angela was featured in Issue 4 of Cairn Magazine (pg. 22-23) as our Cairn Gallery artist profile. Angela takes a different take landscape painting. In her own words:


"I have always been inspired by the landscape. I love being outdoors. As
a kid, I never sat in front of the TV. At every opportunity, I was out the door and experiencing nature firsthand. I did have an inclination at that age that I wanted to be an artist, but didn't know what that meant until I went to an art school for my bachelor's degree in oil painting. It took me four years to learn how to paint what I felt when I looked at a landscape. Experiencing nature is not just how you see it, but what you feel when you are there; I try to communicate that within my paintings using color, abstraction, and collage. Colorado has some of the most beautiful landmarks I have seen and I’ve only just begun. Traveling to see new places is also inspiring. As an artist, I try to express the excitement of seeing a new place on the canvas."

One of Angela's latest work is entitled "Breckenridge":
