Artist spotlight: Michael Begenyi's color rich, geometric paintings
I'm really going to try and feature more artists this year. As a RISD illustration major painting and drawing are in my blood, and artwork can make a huge impact in your home! The artist I'm featuring today is Michael Begenyi, I think his work really lends itself to interiors and interior design, because of his focus on color combinations and geometry and line.
Here is his artist's statement: Michael C. Begenyi teaches middle school art in Western Pennsylvania and actively exhibits his work. His acrylic paintings reflect his interests in the geometric representation of the natural world and explorations in color theory.The relationship between math, science and art is part of what Michael has been exploring with his current work. Technical precision is important to Michael but it does not overwhelm the organic and creative inspiration for each painting.
This one (full:above), (detail:below), is my favorite. It is titled koi pond. I think it does a fantastic job of capturing what a koi pond would look like broken down into geometric shapes. The colors are really stunning as well.
The paintings also remind me a lot of oragami, and even have titles like "Hummingbird," "Frog," and "Crane"
The photo above gives you a better perspective of the size of some of the paintings
To see all of Michael's works, purchase, or read more, go to his shop on Zatista.

currently obsessed with {simple styling}
Some days you need the clean lines of something simple to make everything fall into place. I am totally in love with these paintings by Amaryllis Truth and this table is screaming for placement in a clients home! I have to use them both somewhere soon or I will have to buy them for myself!

An amazing Etsy artist - the evocative nature photography of Nicholas Bell
I don't feature independent artists as much as I would like to. But there's no time like the present, and I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the talented Nicholas Bell from Knoxville, TN.
His work really speaks to me because of it's sense of peace, isolation, and connectedness to our natural surroundings. Check it out below:
I love the sense of quiet
These last two are my favorite - so beautiful
Pretty fantastic right?
Check out all of his work at his Etsy shop- Nicholas Bell Fine Art Photography.

Hapy Friday - Beautiful art for art's sake
Having majored in illustration from RISD, my first love has always been painting and drawing, and it'll always be close to my heart. So occasionally I like to feature painters and other artists that I discover and like. Here are my most recent finds
Beautiful collages by mixed media artist Kristen Neveu
This one is my favorite. Isn't it gorgeous?

These striking floral oil paintings are by Jo Beer. I discovered her while working on a design for a wedding invitation and needed a reference photo for ornamental kale. I ran across the painting below

Visit at the artist's studio
Last Sunday I spent a few hours in Hudson, NY once more, this time looking at artwork and while I was walking up Warren Street I came across a rather large store front with an arresting exhibition of different items in the large windows. There was something unusual and different then the stores I had walked past by before.Some signs hanging above the doorway woke my interest and at first I was

Hugo Guinness art
Okay love love these... They are totally on my Valentine's wish list! (My Hubby doesn't "believe" in Valentine's) so it will have to remain a wish. But aren't they the cutest?
They are Hugo Guinness pieces and are available through John Derian.
So perfect alone or in a wall collage.
