Guarding Secrets .....

'Guarding Secrets'







SOLD

Disambiguation

I decided that the proper name for this piece would be 'Disambiguation', meaning the process of resolving the conflicts that arise. Plain and simple......or dig a little deeper. SOLD

....blogging about my Artprize 2010 artwork....

.........just wanted to share that I am in process of setting up a new blog that will follow and explain what my process has been, mentally as well as physically, on creating my Artprize 2010 piece.....titled 'The Right Stuff". I decided to keep this blog for a record for myself, as well as for others who might have an interest in painting, or my artwork. Either would be a good thing. (.....disclaimer......if you are interested in learning how to paint etc, you may not necessarily be excited about my work......however, keeping in mind that I am self taught- you can follow along and see what it is like for a greenhand to create a 5 foot painting, or how it was for me.:) ....I hope also to blog, and even get some you tubing in about my experience at the show this year.

Commentary from Your Arts Desire .......

Thanks to Ken and Melissa, whom I have heard, and can confirm them to be the most wonderful representing gallery/ owners, for their encouraging commentary on their website..... -if you are looking for genuinely nice, Your Art's Desire on Minnetonka Blvd, is the sure place to stop!

to view their website, follow the link, or read the commentary below.


Kayleen Ylitalo Horsma is one of the newest additions to Your Art’s Desire. Having met Kayleen several months back, we have come to know her through her arduous and committed efforts to be a professional visual artist. A self taught artist who went after her medium with determination and persistence has emerged as one of the most exciting offerings we have in the gallery this year. Her quirky characters can’t help but pique the curiousity of the viewer and her mastery of her medium is a journey we feel very privileged to be a part of. She is one to watch and we boldly suggest you buy her work now, because she is certainly destined for bigger things than the Twin Cities market.
