All Around Art

Happy Columbus Day! This should be a holiday but I’m working…

Congratulations to Jaimie Gili, the winner for the Maine Center for Creativity’s, Art All Around™ contest, which I posted back in May in Unusual Places for Art. Here is the press release alerting me to the outcome. I’m looking forward to seeing the results in 2011. I hope to fly back to Maine (see previous mention) by then.  He has derived his inspiration from 50’s, 60’s & 70’s abstract, optical art in Venezuela. Follow the links above to see the video presentation and what his art will entail to cover the 261,000 square feet of the Sprague Energy tanks in Portland. Just a shout out to Jean Maginnis for conducting a great contest and getting productive results.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
