I came across an artist recently that I can't wait to share with everyone. She is a master at the medium I'm currently trying to learn, and her subject matter is inherently endearing. The artist's name is
Ali Cavanaugh. Here is a little snippet from the biography on her website;
"Ali Cavanaugh (American, b. 1973) is an internationally represented fine artist. She studied painting at Kendall College of Art and Design and the New York Studio Residency Program in New York City, earning a BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design in 1995. At the age of 22, she co-founded an atelier -The New School Academy of Fine Art- in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2000. It was during her seven years in Santa Fe that she developed her modern fresco process on kaolin clay."
The use of clay as her foundation produces some amazing effects. I am particularly in love with her series called "Immerse" . The flowing layers of paint, and the glowing light are awe inspiring.

The images on this blog really can't do justice to her work. I urge you to go check out her website,
www.alicavanaugh.com where you can see details of the paintings. She also has an upcoming show at the
Gold Gallery in Boston from September 8 through October 18, which I would certainly be going to... if I could scrape the cash together to do so.
Thank you for sharing this, Shawn. I love her work!
