Writing About Art

A fantastic 'how-to' book on how to think and write about art is 'A Short Guide To Writing About Art'.

So far, the little I have managed to read, I found extremely informative. However, trying to find another spare five minutes to read some more is another story in itself!

Anyway, gotta go now, the family is hungry and starting to lose too much weight!

Wheee...... round and round I go!

Cornucopia for St Georges Restaurant

This is my drawing for the St Georges Restaurant. The 'Cornucopia' also known as the 'Horn of Plenty' dates back to the 5th Century. It stands for abundance and fertility. I have always loved the symbolism. In my version the horn is an organic matter and it is morphing into orchids.

Here I have overlaid two of my paintings; a portrait painting and a crystal painting, and then on top of that I overlaid a photo of a forest.

About Adriana

Currently I am working as a sales/interior stylist/consultant.

I am a visual artist, designer, interior stylist and florist.

My art work is at presently sold through these outlets:
Crystal Heart, 213 Lygon Street, Carlton
and from my studio which is situated in Preston
you can reach me on 0418 655687.
website is www.artinyourface.biz

As an interior stylist, I am responsive to my client's requirements and tastes and only too happy to assist with outfitting your space. My aim is to create amazing artworks and decorative design pieces that mesh in unison. This work also includes working with other interior stylists.

In addition to interior styling, I have a diploma in Visual Arts, majoring in painting and printmaking.

In 2012 I was the Treasurer for "69 Smith Street Gallery", a non for profit, artist run gallery. I was in this position for two years and it was truly a wonderful experience.

In the process of creating an artwork or designing a space, it requires much deliberation and consideration for a pleasing outcome. There is more to it than simply regarding the style, decor and theme of the room. I delve into many things such as my client's needs, their personality, their budget, the lighting in the space, the colour scheme, selection of materials and textiles, the shapes, form, scale, line, and the desired temperature and mood. A perfect fit evolves only when a complete understanding of minds are in unison.
