public mural highlights

I've recently put in a proposal for a maaaaasive art project in Southern Brisbane, requiring 400m2 of artwork. 400 m2!!
It's been about 6 months since I've led a mural project and it's got me reminiscing about ol' times. Here's a few of my favourite mural projects over the last five years or so:
.

Walter Street community mural, Caboolture QLD
.

Cultural Canvas Indoor mural, Chiang Mai, Thailand

.

Oxford Park railway station, QLD
.

Community mural, Auchenflower rail station, QLD
.

Shelter shed mural, Auchenflower rail station, QLD
.

Community mosaic & clay mural, Michelton, QLD
.

There's always some risk as an artist making public art, I think. I look back now and see all these 'holes' in some of my early projects and I cringe! Thank goodness as my confidence and experience grows, I bring a few more tricks of the trade to each artwork. So it goes without saying that I've only posted the projects above that have passed my own scrutinised standards.

All going well I'll have another good one to add to the list if my current proposal is selected! Fingers crossed, like this XXX

new commission: *Emerge Free*

Emerge Free. 90 x 45 cms. Mixed media on board. Artwork commission (just completed).
.
After finishing this artwork, inspired by an image of my client's children, I emailed it through yesterday for approval. She got back to me thing morning with the relieving news that she loves it! PHEW!! Yay! Above is the finished artwork called 'Emerge Free' and below is a close up of a portion.
.

.
Below is a pic of the initial loose design option selected by client (I've blogged about the process images and design brief here)
.

.
It's always a relieving feeling when a client loves a commissioned work ~ it can be quite a vulnerable place to be in when it comes to the approval stage! So I've learnt to see it as a service for an individual, rather than a reflection of my work as an artist. That way if changes are required, it's only a mild blow to my ego!
.
In general, I've found that if I create something that I love and feel happy with, the client does too. I don't take on projects I'm not inspired by (I learnt that the long way!), and I won't sell it unless I'm proud of it. I just do my best to listen to what a client wants, gather as much info and images from them as I can (What are your fave paintings of mine style-wise?, Where it will be displayed?, What colours are you drawn to?), and do my thing from there. This time it payed off!! Yay! It's a wonderful feeling.

inspiration and art infusion

.

I took this pic on a recent Sunshine Coast Hinterland walk. These great trees have a diameter that would require about five of me to hug around its base! They truly are magnificent and I feel such a sense of earthly wisdom and awe when I'm around them. It's almost like they exude a powerful energy, especially within a beautiful rain forest surrounding; their natural habitat. It took my right back to my very first school excursion to a rain forest ~ I've been hooked ever since!
.

.
A recent trip to Underwater World produced some surprising natural inspiration. How beautiful is the flow of these tentacle-like wisps in the water?! And the colours!! Yummmmmm!
.

.

.
Ahhhh, I was totally awed by the amazing colourings on this magnificent crustacean ~ I love how stripes are combined with spots; pastel colours with spiky textures. Beautiful!
.

.
And the same goes for this orchid. What a magnificent, quirky combo of colour, shape and pattern!
.
More and more as I work on my Peacocks and Pinstripes exhibition, I can see how much the things I come across in my daily travels ~ particularly natural phenomenon ~ are fusing into my artworks, and changing the way I look at the world. I'm seeing new colour combinations, new patterns, shapes and amazing textures in nature that are finding their way into my work.
.
As I looked back this morning at old photos I've taken of things that inspire me, I noticed how over many years, I've been looking at the world in an unending search for beauty and inspiration ...
Only this time, because of my exhibition, I'm doing it consciously.
.
I love how at this stage of my life, making art has opened me up to look for that beauty, to focus on the magnificence in nature. What a gift and a pleasure it is to view the world in this way!
... So I'm beginning to think that being an artist helps me to stay positive and cultivate a sense of awe and joy in the world; to find the beauty that exists every day, everywhere, as long as I take time to look at it. To remember what it's like to be a kid, seeing something magnificent for the first time.
I love my life! And I feel so blessed.
So the next time I'm feeling off, I'll remember this day and take a walk outside in nature somewhere, to look for the beauty that I know to exist.

Peacocks and Pinstripes progress

So I've been working pretty solidly on artworks for my upcoming Peacocks and Pinstripes exhibition, and my studio looks like a bomb has hit it!
Seriously, the floor is covered in fabric snippets, BOTH of my art-making desks are covered with paint tubes, brushes, paint tins, containers, scissors, glue, boards & stencilling stuff. So now when I walk in and actually want to MAKE something, I have to first create room to do it! Which is pretty much a matter of moving items from one pile of crap to another.
.
You might be thinking, 'Why doesn't she just clean it up?' My excuse is that if I do clean it, not 2 minutes later I will get into an inspiration frenzy and mess it all up again.
.
So I've pretty much resigned to the fact that for the next 6 weeks, my studio will be in a constant flux of mess migration until my exhibition opens. I guess it's okay. I can't complain, I'm lucky to have a proper studio and not have to overflow my stuff onto the kitchen table instead.
Actually ... now there's an idea!!

new commission

Orienne. Mixed media on canvas. 2005
.

A good friend of mine from high school and I caught up a few months back, after being out of contact for 10 years (oh how time flies!)
She's asked me to do paint her a commission for her lounge room, which incorporates similiar themes to my Orienne artwork (above), along with a photo of her two spunky kids.

.

I'll be transforming the photo she's given me of her kids onto the surface in a stenciled format, like the painting below of hubby and I, based on a photo from our wedding.

.

Punky Partner Pattern. Paint on board, 2008

sneak peak artworks

Peacocks and Pinstripes upcoming exhibition: a sneak peak of 5 paintings I've completed so far ...
I told myself I wouldn't upload any artworks until they've been unveiled at the exhibition, but it's a few months away and I just couldn't wait! Plus what's an art blog without pictures? I'm sure a sneak peak can't hurt ...

words to see the new year in by

A beautiful poem my friend passed onto me ~ and now me to you.

Happy 2010 xox

To an English Friend in Africa ~ by Ben Okri

Be grateful for freedom
To see other dreams.
Bless your loneliness as much as you drank
Of your former companionships.
All that you are experiencing now
Will become moods of future joys
So bless it all.

Do not think your ways superior
To another's
Do not venture to judge
But see things with fresh and open eyes
Do not condemn
But praise what you can
And when you can't be silent.

Time is now a gift for you
A gift of freedom
To think and remember and understand
The ever perplexing past
And to re-create yourself anew
In order to transform time.

Live while you are alive.
Learn the ways of silence and wisdom.
Learn to act, learn a new speech.
Learn to be what you are in the seed of your spirit.
Learn to free yourself from all things that have moulded you
And which limit your secret and undiscovered road.

Remember that all things which happen to you
Are raw materials
Endlessly fertile
Endlessly yielding of thoughts that could change your life
And go on doing for ever.

Never forget to pray and be thankful
For all the things good or bad on the rich road;
For everything is changeable
So long as you live while you are alive.

Fear not, but be full of light and love;
Fear not but be alert and receptive;
Fear not but act decisively when you should;
Fear not, but know when to stop;
Fear not for you are loved by me;
Fear not, for death is not the real terror,
But life -magically - is.

Be joyful in your silence
Be strong in your patience
Do not try to wrestle with the universe
But be sometimes like water or air
Sometimes like fire
Live slowly, think slowly, for time is a mystery.
Never forget that love
Requires that you be
The greatest person you are capable of being,
Self-generating and strong and gentle-Your own hero and star.

Love demands the best in us
To always and in time overcome the worst
And lowest in our souls.
Love the world wisely.

It is love alone that is the greatest weapon
And the deepest and hardest secret.

So fear not, my friend.
The darkness is gentler than you think.
Be grateful for the manifold dreams of creation
And the many ways of unnumbered peoples.

Be grateful for life as you live it.
And may a wonderful light
Always guide you on the unfolding road.

new series

If you're a member of my facebook fan page, you'd already know that I'm working on a new series of artworks for a solo exhibition next year.
It'll be my first solo in about 4 years ~ I've been keeping myself busy with all the community art work, so it's nice to take a step back and focus on my own stuff for a change. Really, really refreshing!

I've come up with a name for the exhibition ~ Peacocks and Pinstripes.
It's a series based on, um, lots of stuff, and intertwined in each piece is either a reference to peacocks (in memory of my Great great Grandfather Edgar Peacock) or my love for patterns and pinstripes (just cause!).

The artworks that are coming out of me are a lot bolder and more design-based, rather than the usual harmonious mish-mash of pattern, colour and texture I've previously used in my mixed media works. It's a really nice journey and it almost feels like I'm discovering a new side of myself through my work.

Unlike before, I can clearly see how interactions with people and inspiration from nature are feeding into my work. Yesterday I went for a walk along the waterfront and I sat under a tree, looking up (a favourite past-time of mine). I'd been working on a new art piece the night before and wasn't sure where I would 'go' with it, when suddenly, the shape of the leaves in the tree above me provided the perfect inspiration for the next step in the painting! Serendipity!!!
I grabbed a couple off the ground and brought them back home and began incorporating the oval leaf shape into the artwork. LOVING IT!! It's become my fave in the series so far.
It's hard not to share them with anyone, but I want to keep the exhibition content a surprise for a change!

a fork in the road

Being a freelance artist is AMAZING, yet there are also loads of challenges along the way. Consistent money has been a major hurdle for me in my work, even though I've kept myself really busy creating and working with communities on loads of projects. So with the new year fast approaching, I've been doing some thinking about where I'm heading and what I want for my life.
.
I've been accepted into university next year to study Art Therapy at MIECAT, which I am super dooper excited about! I have such a strong sense of appreciation and awe for the power of art in healing, so immersing myself in learning and growing in that direction will of course be a major focus. So the challenge now is to decide what the best way to move forward from here ...
.
I've actually been thinking about getting a 'real' job so that I have some regular income while I'm studying. Creative freelancing has been wonderful in so many ways, yet it also requires a huge amount of energy to plan, develop, market and essentially run an art-based business. I'm thinking it might be nice change to have a job I can 'leave at the office' so I can give my study 100%, but my innate sense of sharing creativity with others is so strong that I'll need to still have that in my life somewhere. It's also taken me years to build up my freelance connections and networks so letting it go feels scary to me. Perhaps I can do a little bit of both. Decisions decisions!
.
I feel that next year is a clean slate. A new beginning. I'm not sure exactly what path I'll take or where I'll end up, but I'm trusting my feelings and my heart to point me in the right direction as I take each step. I'll keep you posted as things unfold.

my journey into community art

.
The lovely Ana from Expressive World asked me in my recent container gardening post how I got into the community art work I do, as it's something she'd love to get into herself.
I figured there might be more people interested to know how it's possible to get into the community arts as well, so I decided to answer her questions here via a trip down my own Memory Lane:

After leaving high school my parents encouraged me to study for a 'real' job with secure employment prospects, so I forfeited my art college dreams and went on to study and work in child care and preschool teaching. For years I felt pissed about this but now I see that all life experience transforms into tools we can use in the present.
.
During these preschool teaching years I managed to find innovative ways to deliver the preschool curriculum through the arts and I gained a great understanding of meeting a child's developmental need in a creative, empowering, expressive way.
Although I found this hugely rewarding; due to the nature of the work I was still required to deal with other duties outside of creativity, ranging from overstretching myself between large ratios of kids in the classroom, to cleaning up childhood toileting mishaps! I innately felt that connecting with kids in this way was not ideal for me as I wanted to specialise in art and not be subject to the restrictions of teaching in a formal setting.
.
So after travelling and living in Europe, I moved back to Australia and studied art for a year.
Although I LOVED studying art, I left believing that the only way to 'make it' as an artist was to sit at home, paint and have exhibitions! I knew there had to be more and I organically started to stumble across other options.
.
I began to undertake loads of volunteer work around artists and creative festivals, where I started to make a few connections with people in the art world. I began to get a little bit of paid work here and there assisting other artists and making props for festivals. I also began having exhibitions and selling my work that way, yet I was still supporting myself financially with preschool teaching.
.
My major break into community art came after volunteering to paint a large scale mural @ Auchenflower train station with a friend in Brisbane, and during this time I was able to convince the railways to hire me to develop a full-time community art initiative for all the stations! After a couple of years coordinating and facilitating community art projects (and often feeling out of my depth at times), I left the railways with enough connections to have a stab at freelancing in community art.
.
In January this year I fulfilled a life-long dream to volunteer in Thailand, where I connected with Cultural Canvas Thailand to introduce an art therapy program to a small organisation caring for mistreated boys with cerebral palsy. I'd been working as an arts-based support worker for the Cerebral Palsy League at home here in Queensland for around 6 months before my Thailand trip, so it was perfect serendipity that I could then use the skills I learnt to help overseas. The amount of satisfaction I felt and continue to feel as a result of that time has helped me to not just believe, but KNOW that art has the capacity to connect and heal in ways far, far beyond anything I've known. Following my creative dreams became real, rewarding and do-able!
.
Since then my confidence and connections have grown. I've been able to build a good-sized portfolio of work and experience and I have connections with private and public sources who incorporate art as a tool for communication and activism, meaning that I'm often hired to facilitate creative workshops around a particular topic. These days I'm increasingly building my own art projects around my personal interests (environmental conservation) and linking with existing organisations who I feel might like to auspice my work.

.

I've found there is funding out there through many existing groups/organisations who have a need that is unmet and most are amazingly open to the way creativity can meet those needs and educate people through artistic experiences.

I still undertake volunteer work and up-skill myself with people who are currently doing what I want to do ~ and even that experience creates new connections! I explore my ideas/passions in my personal studio work as well and I regularly undertake workshops, training and research topics that support my creative practice and environmental education interests.

.

Next year I've enrolled in an art therapy course so I'm looking forward to seeing where that leads and feeling creative fulfillment and the birth of new dreams in the process.

.

...

.

In summary,over the years I've had to push through feelings of inadequacy and believe in following my heart instead of my fears. I've made mistakes, I've had many successes and I think its a matter of not using 'limited experience' as your excuse to stop you from following your creative dreams.

.

So my advice would be to volunteer, gain the experience and try your out ideas while you're volunteering. Study if you need to. Get a mentor. Help out creativley at festivals. Update your creative resume as you gain skills and experience. These will help you build a portfolio which makes it easier to get paid work.

.

Make art yourself regularly so you trust your own process. And rather than reinventing the wheel, CONNECT WITH EXISTING organisations, groups or government sectors who are already involved in the area you want to work in, as they often have funding to deliver projects to meet their needs ~ and yours!

.

Consider devoting a portion of your time pursuing the activity of gaining skills and connections instead of writing it off as 'just a dream'. You need to act to get where you want to go. Connect with kindies, schools or community groups to get practice. Sought out people already doing what you want to do and connect with them. Ask questions. Listen.

There's over 6 billion people in the world and chances are, there's millions of people willing to help you get where you want to go! Then pay it forward by sharing your skills, facilitating those workshop, creating change in the world and fulfilling your dreams!

.

Above all, COMMIT TO YOUR DREAMS and DON'T GIVE UP!! It is hard yakka, a lot of it is often unpaid in the beginning ~ yet so, so rewarding on a soul level. Be patient. It's taken me 6 driven years since my first bout of art-study to get to where I am now and there's a lifetime of work to go.

.

Lastly, don't be afraid to carve your own path. If things don't 'fit', learn from the good parts and create a new way to undertake those activities. Listen to your feelings and they will guide you.

.

All the best in your creative career! I'm more than happy to be one of the 6 billion who helps you on your way.

container gardening workshop

.

.

.
The eco-container workshop today @ Northey Street City Farm went really beautifully. The kids loved guessing what the various containers were in a 'previous life' and understanding that they could now make something useful out of their used milk bottles, cans, juice containers and ice cream buckets when they get home.
.
The kids designed and create stickers made from salvaged signwriters vinyl to add to their pot, as well as weaving salvaged twine through the plastic to make beautiful and original pot designs.
We then filled the lovely new pots with potting mix and the kids chose from a few different floral or food-based seeds to plant in the soil.
.
Thanks to Brisbane-based blogland artist friend Angie and her beautiful two girls (bottom photo) for coming along to the workshop!

collage play

.
I'm doing The Artist's Way at the moment and this weeks task is to create a collage using images I resonate with, to depict my past, present, future and dreams.
This is what I came up with after flicking through magazines and ripping out pages.
I've called it 'Chrihini Goddess' and I felt great creating it! It holds within it my travel dreams, my craft, an increasingly wonderful relationship with hubby, my connection with nature, my love for pattern, colour, waterfalls, my aspirations for a beautiful new home, and myself as a vessel of freedom. Crikey it was liberating! What a breath of fresh air!

wrap up ~ make art every day

Dreamy Denise Eco-brooch. (C) Chrissy Foreman C 2009
.
So the Art Every Day Month is over, and I admit I didn't make art every day ... however it's nice to look back over the last month and see that a whole lot of new works and ideas were born, developed and nurtured over the last month.

I think it's amazing how much a concept or new obsession, such as working with recycled materials in my case, can grow and morph as time goes on. I love that about being an artist ~ seeing my work transform along with me as a person and mirroring my dreams, goals and interests.

Sometimes I find my rate of creative transformation alarming and I can barely keep up with myself ... something new every day. Other times I'll feel like I'm hardly moving at all in my work. Sometimes I push myself to exhaustion and other times I take a break from it totally.

Being a full time artist isn't always a wonderful thing ~ many people might think it would be 'great to play with paint all day', but in my experience it's all peaches and cream!
It takes courage, strength, commitment, flexibility and a delicate balance of sanity and insanity.
It's wonderful and scary. It's hard work and it's plaful. It's connective and lonely. I'm driven to share, yet I feel so vulnerable about my work.

And it's all okay.
I can't not do it. It makes me who I am and I'm glad I've been born this way.

I think, like everything else, it's a juggling act, and sometimes we have to know when to introduce new balls and when to drop some from the mix.

It keeps me honest with myself and I love the fact that I've allowed myself to walk the path of nurturing my creative career.

To all the new people I've met through art every Day Month, and of course to all my old fave blog friends, Thank You for making this journey with me and sharing your comments and work with me. And Thank You for listening and watching! What is art without someone to share it with?

Love C x

day 26 ~ make art every day

.

Just a wee art project today ~ made another pair of 'Blue Winter' eco-earrings for an order purchased via my online eco-jewellery store. Pauline, I hope your friend loves her Eco-Christmas present!

Love, C x

day 25 ~ make art everyday

.
Yaaaaayy! I finally got all of the final touches done on my new range of eco-brooches this morning, and they are now for sale in my online eco-jewellery store in time for Christmas!!

I made some cute hand-made buttons this morning and found some old button bits I'd bought from the op-shop ages ago, which now adorn the brooches perfectly. I love serendipity!

If you've already visited my store, you'll know that very brooch and pair of eco-earrings have their very own name, Like 'Tina Terrific', 'Dreamy Denise' or 'Jungle Jane'. Don't ask me where the names come from, they are not named after people I know, I just think it 'suits' the brooch's personality (yes, I am a little bit crazy)!
.

.
I haven't posted the finished products here on my blog 'cause I'd like to lure you over to my website for a squiz! If you'd like to check them out yourself and maybe shop for some unique Christmas prezzies for that someone special who's got everything, go to my www.chrissyforemanc.com website or click here!

Oh, and of course, you can order your own in whatever colours you'd like and I can invent something new and unique especially for you!

Love, C x

day 24 ~ make art every day

Okay, I admit I've taken a bit of time-out from the art every day month challenge. This is due to a combination of allowing myself time to rest, family commitments, and also working on a new series of artworks that I want to savour for myself for a change rather than sharing.

I have, however, really been enjoying making my eco-brooches out of fabric offcuts (pictured above).

I'm really happy with the grungy-ness (I made that word up!) and the adaptability of my brooches ~ They range from about 2-3 inches in diameter and you can wear them pinned on a shirt or skirt as brooches, bobby pin them in your hair or even loop a ribbon/chain through the brooch hook on the back and turn it into a necklace. Pretty cool huh? And of course, other than the new clip on the back, they are made from 100% salvaged/recycled materials!

I've still got a few final touches to add to them this week before I post them on my online store ready for Christmas. I'll keep you posted!
Love C x

day 19 ~ make art every day

Today I nurtured my inner artist by attending an ABAF (Australian Business Arts Foundation)course. It may sound dry initially, yet I found the workshop on Dealing with the media to be an interesting and totally applicable topic for artists in business and/or selling their work.

I realised that within my art business, which predominantly consists of selling artworks and developing community art projects, I have been spending a shed-load of time marketing my work through various avenues, rather than really stopping to think about creating strong relationships with specific target audiences and existing clients.

I learnt today that approximately 80% of a business' clientele comes from 20% of marketing efforts, and of that 20%, most work comes from repeat clients ~ so it makes sense to hone in on the 20% that count! Realistically, this means I'll be spending less time slaving to uninterested clients, having more time in the studio actually making art, and therefore more quality information to update with my existing networks. Makes sense huh?

So my art for today was to create my first written media release and media strategy ~ it don't look so pretty so no pics today! I also updated my website and had lunch with an artist friend, so I'm feeling creatively 'full' as a result! It feels kinda like cleaning out the closet and filling it with a bunch of new outfits that 'work' for me much better!

day 18 ~ make art every day

I've been very busy today happily creating and refining my eco-jewellery necklaces and brooches. I had a few creative breakthroughs today (this every day creative thing is working!!) and I made 6 new pieces of jewellery that I TOTALLY LOVE ~ but I won't post them all because I want to unveil some surprises on my website once I've got enough to officially launch the range!
Here's a couple below from today's creative time:
.

'Peaches and Dust' eco-brooch: made from 100% salvaged materials
.

'Fuchsia Freezer' eco-necklace: made from 100% salvaged materials.
{ If you check out yesterday's post you'll see that Fuchsia Freezer used to be called 'Tetris'! I've added a frame etc which I think works much better. }
.

.
Above and below are a couple of pictures I forgot to add from my creative time in Sydney recently. I created this design on the back of a second hand jacket. Cool huh?!
.
