Artist Of The Month

Artists of the Month

 

Feisty Redhead is a Fargo native who has been living in Minneapolis for the last 9 years.  She paints abstract art on canvas with focus on color and texture.  Her art is meant to evoke emotion through the use of color, contrast, depth and texture.

When asked about her name, she explained, "I do not feel that it should be about me, the art can speak for itself.  My name has nothing to do with it, but I hope the feisty-ness always comes through."

She explains about her process in the following quote:  "I start with a color and a blank canvas and let the paint flow.  Often times, I start a piece and come back to completely change it months later.  I rarely know how a painting will look or feel when it is finished. Regarding materials, I enjoy oil and acrylic painting equally.  When I work with oil, I am reminded to slow down and enjoy the process.  Acrylic is my immediate gratification paint, I also use it as a base to get the process started and add texture and additional color with oils."

Being abstract, Feisty's art can be interpreted in a number of ways.  She says, "I feel that art is personal.  I do not tell people what to look for in any of my paintings.  I love hearing what someone sees or feels-especially when it is a completely different perspective than I have on the same piece. It shows that art can be emotional and bring out many different feelings and perspectives.  I have a love of color and painting brings me joy.  It is that simple.  I feel that many times this simple idea can be overcomplicated.  There is a formality in the art world that I do not comprehend. Art is meant to show joy, sadness, and a huge range of emotion."
