Unique interior design elements inspired by wall art
As both an interior designer and artist I am often drawn to interiors featuring artwork and find myself asking, what came first in each instance, the egg or the chicken? In other words, is the interior inspired by the art or the art inspired by the interior?
A year of creative exploration: Part 2 from design to finished artwork
It’s always a surprise when I feel inspired to create another artwork on wood etched with the pyrograph. Why? Well because every time I finish a piece I am sure it is my last because the process usually ends up being intensely involved, long and at times arduous. Even though I say to myself I will create a more minimalistic piece I always get carried away. I’ve been looking to create things that take a shorter amount of time. Which actually doesn’t make sense now since I have also begun exploring textile arts and in particular embroidery which also needs considerable time to complete each piece! Go figure!!!
Golden Pelican mixed media on wood artwork
I had been wanting to start painting more birds in my artwork, and my brother, George S Blonsky, who is an extremely talented professional wildlife photographer, and whose work I love, nudged me to paint one of the birds he’s most known for photographing in a place called Lake Kerkini in northern Greece, namely the Dalmatian Pelicans. I have also visited the Lake with him and fell in love with these magnificent creatures, amongst others!
