February Art Newsletter - Rachel's Whimsical Art

2/12/2024

0 Comments

 

“Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.” Chuck Klosterman

February is usually a time that I look inward to reflect, learn, and share the love with others, but this time around I’m doing a lot more planning. I’ve been working on a few BIG changes this year. The biggest and most joyful change is that I get to marry the love of my life and my best friend, Jeffrey, in September of 2024! This is such an exciting and wonderful thing to celebrate and I’m having fun planning for a wedding celebration.

You’d think that was enough to do in one year, but I’m also gearing up for a new Art Exhibition that will be happening August 2nd , 2024 with a totally new style of art that’s in 22 shadow boxes, at the Gallery of Allied Arts of Whatcom County. Not only that, but I’m pushing myself to get out to show more of my art at different art and festival events, where I can bring original art in my Art Booth for sale, commisions, and networking. So many things to be happy and grateful for this new year, and I’m onto new levels of my path in the art world.

Boundary Bay Brewery is a great local brewery, restaurant, and community driven spot in Bellingham, and it’s a place that I’m lucky to be able to show some of my larger 2/D art work this coming April 20th - May 24th! You can find out more about the opening exhibit of my art show on both social media and on my site.

December's Art Newsletter

“I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.” Vincent Van Gogh

The winter season always brings me back to my childhood memories of warm mugs of hot cocoa, twinkling lights, festive decorations, snow falling, handmade gifts, a feeling of being warm & cozy by a fire, cookies, and the scent of freshly cut evergreens. It can be a time to learn a new art or craft, visiting with loved ones, sharing a home-cooked meal, playing games, helping others in need, finding a local art or craft market to see the sights, and shop for gifts. This is all a part of the season, and plenty more. As an artist and art teacher, I’ve got plenty of hands full (How many hands do I have? 4,5,6,8, that’s right!), with art classes, family-time, putting together an art exhibit, while also making more art for gifts & art shopping at places like the Holiday Festival of the Arts.

Macro Butterfly Art Workshop @BellinghamART!

Macro Butterfly Acrylic Painting Workshop with Rachel Simpson . December 2 | 11 am - 3:30 pm (includes a 30 minute lunch break)  For children (9 and up) & adults 
Children and their parents are encouraged to join!


Join our wonderful guest teacher Rachel as she guides us through creating a large scale butterfly on canvas. Each student in this workshop will use a large canvas to map out their butterfly design, plan their color scheme (bright colors encouraged for this one!), then work with acrylic to paint their beautiful creature. Time will be spent at the end to add texture and details, and maybe even some metallic paint to really make your butterfly pop! This workshop is appropriate for children as well as adults, and is a great one to do with a family member. If you have no experience with acrylic paint, not to worry, Rachel will guide you through everything from start to finish. Walk away with a finished piece of artwork ready to be hung, or gifted for the holidays. 
This workshop is taught by Rachel Simpson. Rachel is a local artist and art educator. She teaches at many of the public schools in Bellingham, as well as Franklin Academy, and through Allied Arts of Whatcom County. Rachel has a diverse style and works in a range of mediums including acrylic, sculpture, collage, textiles, and more. Rachel is enthusiastic and excited to share her love for art with others. We are excited to have her guest teach for BellinghamART.

Art Workshops for Fall!
Glowing Wooden Earrings @Jansen Art Center

Picture
1 Day Workshop with
Rachel Simpson,  Saturday, Oct. 28th  2023, 1:00–4:00pm


In this brilliantly bright art class, students   will learn how to personalize their very own set of earrings. The instructor will demonstrate how to create and paint the earrings. Students will dream up their designs and use wooden circles or ovals as the base of the earrings. The earrings will be painted in the pointillism style. Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots or strokes of color are applied to a surface to form an image. Students will then draw and paint their designs onto the earrings. We will use special inks and neon-colored paints to really make those earrings GLOW! Students will leave class with their very own pair of hand-painted earrings, or the earrings can be worn separately as necklaces.

“Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a great deal to love a leaf. It’s ordinary to love the beautiful, but it’s beautiful to love the ordinary.’” Unknown

Summer is around the corner, and we can all feel it with the weather changing into warmer days. I find so much joy during this time of sunshine. It’s a wonderful time to be creative, find new things to try in being creative, meet with friends, wander out in nature, and make those treasured memories. The school year has flown by, and ends for me at a favorite elementary school, to help teach and paint a Mural! I’ve been on cloud nine, while working on this school-wide-mural project. It’s one of my favorite collaborations to do with students – to make a mural together and find our happy place within the school community. When it’s finished, I’ll be sure to share photos of it with everyone. In this June newsletter, you’ll find info about the Wings of Stardust Art Exhibit, the Art that GLOWS painting party for adults, and the two kids Summer Art & Dance Camps!

There's hundreds of students' art at various elementary and middle schools that will be placed in many local business windows in the Bellingham Downtown area for all of us to enjoy, and it's really a wonderful community event! 

Third, you can go local on Saturday, May 6th, to find some of my original 'Winged Art' on display with the Whatcom Artist Studio Tour Show at the Chuckanut Art Gallery, and it will be up for display and for sale for the entire month of May.

In this issue, you’ll find an upcoming Art Exhibit, as well as many Art Classes this spring and summer, for all different age groups, from adults, to teens, to kids, a Summer Art Camp, and another fun Parent & Me class!

February Art Newsletter

2/7/2023

0 Comments

 

“Since I fell in love with you everything is transformed and is full of beauty . . . love is like an aroma, like a current, like rain. You know, my sky, you rain on me and I, like the earth, receive you.” Frida Kahlo

Picture
In the month of February, I find when the days are getting longer with light, it gives me pause to relfect, share love, and give myself time to dream of the beginning of spring that’s around the corner. If you live in the PNW, you know how long the winter days can be, and to welcome back the sun. When times are a struggle, I look for ways I can be refreshed with stories, music, writing, being with loved ones, and do creative things to help recharge.

If you’re in the mood to enjoy the theme of love, and see how other artists show the meaning of love in visual arts, then you can go visit the ‘All You Need Is Love’ exhibit at the Gallery Syre, between Feb.11th-Ap.15th, and check out a variety of the best local and national artists (45 artists), they’ve chosen on their first juried art exhibit. If you guessed right, I am one of those selected to be at the art show! You can see my piece called ‘Love Through The Ashes’ here as an example of my latest piece in this newsletter, but as we all know, it’s best to see art in person, for the real effect. You can find me there for the art exhibit opening this Saturday, Feb. 11th, 6-8pm.
