How do artists make art?
The answer is as unique as the art and artist. And on the Washington County Open Studios
tour October 17th and 18th, you get a peek behind the
scenes into the art making process.
Every artist is opening up their studio to you, showing you their
materials, inspirations and demonstrating what they do and how they create art.
Here is a quick peek into one of our 41 artists on this
year’s tour.
Denise,
when you begin your work, what inspires you and gets you going?
“I may see a
shape or a color that I like to start out with and go from it leads me.”
How
did you find your way to art, Denise?
“I had a very
good art teacher that believed in me in high school and a couple at the college
level.”
Denise,
can you share any weird, different material or technique you use?
“I have used
sandpaper that came from a tool store, it made a very cool picture.”
When
people come to your studio, Denise, what will they see you doing?
“I may be
working on about 2-3 pictures at a time plus I get a lot of help from the house
cats.”
Denise, can you describe what is unique and inspiring about your
studio?
“My studio is in
the top of my house so I get a great view of the world and a lot of growing
things.”
