Art
by Jayme Gilchrist:
The great dream artist, Marc Chagall, once said,
"That great art picks up where nature ends." I look to the world
around me for inspiration. I often take
pictures of the natural beauty outside, saving them to use for desk clutter… I
mean painting references.
In my day-to-day life I enjoy watching my students create and getting in touch with my own creative side.
I work mostly in watercolor, mixed media, and
pen and ink. I really enjoy the
transparency and challenge of working with watercolor. If it isn’t right the first time, you have to
start over . . . it can be annoying but mostly it makes me feel lucky. Mixed media brings a whole new dimension and
character to a piece of art; it makes me feel like I’m putting together an
outfit or a puzzle… the outcome is always unique and my own. And pen and ink is detailed, precise, and
technical… it lets my inner organizational freak out.
Me on a fall hike!
