Artomatic 2015:

One of my favorite things at Artomatic this year was Raymond Baccari's music instruments. I find myself thinking about them regularly. Raymond totally redefined music for me in one installation. I have always wanted to be able to play an instrument but after trying violin as a kid my confidence hasn't been very high in that department! Now I know which instrument I really want to play! Matilda was fun for all ages. I met a family through our mutual love of her unique sounds. I highly suggest checking out the videos Raymond has posted on facebook (click his name above for the link) to hear them. 

I love Yelena Rodina's whimsical cities. I wish there was an interactive exhibit where we could walk around 3D versions of her creative and imaginative surreal buildings. Her use of color is soothing while still being striking. 

Artomatic 2015:

My apologies for the delay, I was out of town with no internet but now I have returned.

My mom and I made some silk art at Diane Tuckman's space. It was something I had never done before, and super fun!

Continuing our colorful adventure, Liliane Blom's artwork was next. I remember her work from Artomatic Frederick. It's always nice to see familiar artists, especially when they have new pieces or techniques they are working with!
 

Jennifer Droblyen is always an artist I enjoy seeing at Artomatic. We even own a piece of her work. She runs a silent auction during Artomatic, so check it out next time you see her show! Her message about the environmental impact of pollutants, and the importance of bees and jellyfish is not only beautiful but informative as well.


I really enjoyed seeing Thalia Doukas's work. It's hard to tell in the photo, but her winter scene is made up of different cuts of paper. Her skill and attention to detail is beautiful!


Michele Morgan's work continues my colorful day at Artomatic. I found the pieces displayed to be easily relatable with vibrant colors and scenes that made me feel relaxed.
