Some artists who share studios, for example
Anne Laddon and Tamara Thornton, work with the same media. Though they have different styles and subjects, they use similar materials. If you enter the studio shared by Eve Chartrand and Anna Meyrick, however, their walls show art quite different in both method and style. Let's look at Eve Provost Chartrand first.
Eve collects objects that speak to her in a special way. As she thinks about them, ideas form as to how to use them to express art worthy of reflection. She often mixes media to express her ideas, or she may make a print, lightbox, or assemblage.
You can see examples of all these types of work on her web site. To see these photos in more detail, just click to enlarge them.
Anna Meyrick's half of the studio is quite different than Eve's. As you can see, Anna's specialty is her mosaic art, though she also draws and paints. She has been involved in art education for over twenty years. She has used her artistic creativity to help those with special needs and at-risk young people.
Here are some of her other mosaics on her wall at Studios on the Park.

Not all of the artists in the related articles below are still in residence at Studios on the Park, but these articles were written while they were there.
This is a fascinating illustration of how people's minds are so unique. It is so interesting to see how two different artists using similar materials end up with very different results.
ReplyDeleteArt is in the mind of the artist before it becomes concrete on canvas or in some other medium. One artist may inspire another to try something new, but even if you give two artists the same subject and materials, they will not create the same work of art because they each have a unique perspective.
