As an artist based in the Vermont area I offer Sip & Paint Parties at public/private venues. I also specialize in hand painted glass wear, murals, illustrations, pen & ink drawings and personal art called 'Name Art'. Below is a description of the work I do and my background as an artist. Thanks for stopping by,
Theresa
Sip & Paint Parties:
I currently holding Sip & Paint Parties at local resta
urants. Please visit www.cricketseye.com for the painting being offered; times and locations.No skills needed...simply come and we will paint together! Murals:
I will create a custom works of art in your home or business. I work with designers to incorporate colors, patterns and themes in order to compliment a room style …or collaborate with families and businesses in order to put their ideas and themes up on the wall. I enjoy creating all types of murals and particularly enjoy working with children (the best idea generators), incorporating their imagination in my work. Please visit my Mural Gallery at www.cricketseye.com for examples of the murals I’ve have had the pleasure of painting. Pen and Ink:
In my dip pen/ink illustrations, I use the traditional dipped-pen and nib techniques to create fine lines on white paper. Many of the themes of these works help explain the name “Cricket"s Eye” …that is to see the world from the perspective of a cricket. This work is applicable to anything from art for your wall, to book illustrations, to wedding invitations. Hand Painted Glassware:
I can be found during the warm month at the Rutland's Farmers Market and Lakes Region Farmers Market where I sell my Hand Painted Glass wear and lots of art that I just love creating....always changing! About the Artist
I grew up in Monroeville, Pa. in a neighborhood that was surrounded by wooded areas offering everything that an artist would want. Creeks with salamanders, crayfish and small waterfalls swirling into moss-sided pools filled with water bugs darting about was my backdrop. Further down, you could find the many colored layers of clay on the banks, dunged out to make clay animal and coiled pot, unfortunately, they soon crumble once dried. Within the woods, winding paths open to plots of native flowers and spaces cleared out to expose vines to swing on ”monkey vines”. This was my first classroom and whenever I needed a refresher course I would head outside! As the season turned, I could anticipate which wild flowers grew where, when to expect the first blackberries and what conditions would bring about an explosion of mushroom to the forest floor..... all of these finds would make their way home with me to be painted or drawn. I earned my BA in Art History with a minor in Music History, which explains the many musicians and their instruments, an occurring theme in my art.
