Shelagh Duffett

I first found Shelagh Duffett on etsy.

I loved her photography, bold and simple designs.

Then I found out she also paints!

Again bold and simple designs.

From her profile:

"My name is Shelagh Duffett and I am a photographer, painter and dreamer! I live in the wonderful province of Nova Scotia surrounded by salty air and blue water. I paint almost daily."

You can see more of Shelagh's work here on her blog.

Thank you, Shelagh Duffett for living your Life Through Art for us to enjoy!

Jen Stark

Jen Stark creates with multiple layers of colored paper.

Cut, layered and rolled to create what looks like dimensional flowers.

This video says it all. It's a great interview with Jen.

Thank you Jen for living your Life Through Art and allowing us to share in it with you.

Agnes Saaby Thomsen:
"I'm 12 years old, and I love to write and take pictures. I want to be a writer..."

At just twelve years old Agnes has already found what many of us look for:

How to live Life Through Art!

Kenneth Roueau

Synchronicity 313 is the name given to the various artistic endeavours of Kenneth Rougeau, a 32 year old artist, poet & musician who currently resides in Portland, Oregon with his girlfriend Charlotte Self (a talented artist & fashion designer) & her son (aspiring artist) Dylan Self.

I first spotted Miss Secretary and was inspired by the creative use of images and of course the umbrella. Looking further into Kenneth's art I found this wonderful tribute to Alice.

Kenneth Rougeau, artist, poet, musician, you truly live your Life Through Art.

See more of Kenneth's work on Flickr and Etsy.

Dilka

This art is by Dilka.

Her illustrative faces have such a solemn sweetness about them.

On her bio she writes,
"After being a graphic designer for many years I decided to be a full time artist. I hope it will work out."

Well Dilka, I don't think you have a thing to worry about.

You are truly living your Life Through Art!

RED Art Project Artist: A Scrapbook of Inspiration

Some of the RED Art Project pieces have begun to arrive in the mail. Amazing and talented artists have stepped forward and said they would participate to help raise funds for the kids.

One of the first to arrive was from Karen Harvey Cox, A Scrapbook of Inspiration. I met Karen and her generous spirit about 8 months ago.

"I have been an artist ever since I could hold a crayon. In 1983 I started

watercolor painting, in 1992 moved to Hong Kong and showed my work at the Hong Kong Visual Art Center with a group called Artists Abroad. I was creating and selling paintings and designer mirrors for five years.

In 1998 I moved to Toronto and studied other mediums. My years in Asia and Canada gave me an opportunity to work with all kinds of paper for my mixed media creations. In 2002 I moved to New England and started oil painting.My work is an expression of my love for mixed media and painting. "

Karen Harvey Cox is an artist who has offered her talent to the RED Art Project this year as she lives her Life Through Art.

RED Art Project Artist: Gufobardo

When the call went out for artists to participate in the RED Art Project, I had no idea such highly acclaimed and talented artist would emerge.

"My name is Stefania Morgante and my job is also my passion."

I’ve studied at the Artistic Liceo of Lecce, then I went to the University of Bologna, DAMS, where I took my bachelor in

Teoria delle forme

(theories of Shapes) in 1992.

After University I collaborated with the cultural page of some newspapers. I took care of the public relationships for some theaters. I’ve also taught Drawing and Art history in the secondary schools and in some courses about tourism.

Then I decided to reflect and I asked myself: what do I want to do? This is how my activity was born, it joins fantasy, technology and the tradition of the artistic creation with the desire of realizing my dreams."

Stefania lives her Life Through Art in a variety of mediums.

You can see more of her art at Gufobardo.

RED Art Project Artist: Faerie Enchantment

Who can produce such a versatile slate of work, always having a child's spirit at heart?

Faerie Enchantment by artist Lisa Kettell that's who!

Lisa is an artist, photographer, instructor and author. Her work is always whimsical, enchanting and magical.

"The whole look of Frosted cupcakes and twinkling paper sprinkled with tarnished silver is so magical and enchanting, anything odd and out of the ordinary has mystery surrounding it and I love to learn about those curious things, waiting for me to either find them or create them."

Lisa, a participating artist for the RED Art Project 2008 definitely lives her Life Through Art

Living Life Through Art with color.
