art
not sure why i call these tapestries, except this explosion of life and color and birth and death is like a giant tapestry of life; full of color and pattern and life. if i had a ton of patience i would make big photorealistic paintings of these, or maybe a giant hooked rug, and just stare at it all day. entranced by the colorful chaos.
today's post is a guest post from our dear friend, fellow artist, and collaborator; hope hilton. thanks for sharing hope!
tucked away in birch groves and flora is a new addition to a fairytale home where claire clements lives and works. now with a much larger and light-filled studio, she experiments with even larger grounds, combining paper and pigment through trimmings, cuttings, collage, washes, layering, and the mixing of mediums. it’s such a treasure to spend time with someone who has made art for so long, as she has for over half a century. i feel very lucky to have a peek into her studio and process. enjoy!

this year, i really wanted to feature more artists at work here on beauty everyday, so i have spent the last few weeks visiting some of our favorites here in athens...continuing in our series of studio visits, i would like to introduce the work of leslie snipes. leslie came to athens to work on her MFA years ago and decided to stay on. she works at r.wood studio, and draws in her home studio everyday. her minimalist drawings are sublime- quiet and complex. i love watching her work.
leslie also works in watercolor:
for you locals, leslie will be having an opening in athens at BMA at home on Friday, February 20th from 5-8 p.m. & Saturday, February 21st from 1-4 p.m.
I moved into the cutest place ever this past year. it's a little house on a corner, built in 1918. it reminds me so much of my young art school days because back then we all lived in rented rooms in old houses in this neighborhood. inside is a surplus of visual beauty, and outside, garden space galore and a secret garden out back! more on that later...
for now, here's some of the beauty I am blessed to see every day.
