Today's AA365~Spotlight Artist , Donna Dowless, 02-15-12

Donna Dowless is an award-winning mixed media artist noted for her heart-themed creations. After four decades of working with many stars in the entertainment industry, she has cast her efforts toward developing her own art and works from her home-based studio located in Orlando, Florida

Her desire to create is continuously fed by her encounters with many inspirational artists and entertainers, each of whom have left indelible impressions on her over the years. Among these muses is Andy Warhol, who encouraged her by voicing "If you are an artist in your heart, so be it!"

Donna's art is a realization of her life-long dream. The intent of her compositions is to stir the senses and her approach to painting varies with each piece. Her work achieves a richness and depth of tone and texture by applying layers of color washes, acrylics, wax, oil pastels, India ink and translucent glazes.

Each piece expresses balance and harmony, a sense of tranquility and respect for life, and affirmations from the heart.

Past The Margin Solo Art ShowBy German Lemus @ Redefine Gallery 01-19-12

As i reminisce over my dwellings in the past, one things has always jumped at me since a young age. It was the ability to escapeby using my imagination...I remenber not understanding the teacher in an all english speaking class, and realizing i was in a room and i was al...l to myself. Sitting on the back of the class was not the best way to receive an education, especially when you just got to America via Mexico border..(yeah i had to throw that in there!) There was a small section that remained free and all to myself, the Margin that borders the page on a notepad. Once i was sitting there listening to hip-hop education 101 on ma walkman wt all the bad kids in the class,I had a free range to create my own world, were lions are wise beings that take walks wt optimus prime and debate on spirituality vrs. religion..perhaps even Silver sufer might stop by and chat about unsettled galaxies across the universe. I think we all had a past the margin moment..once or more were we can dream and get lost within our toughts. So this show is dedicated to those who dwell on their margins and hv broken the borders of their minds by simply using their mind and imagination. peace to all beings! ill see u there and share more. come with your 3rd eye vision open...PS dont drink tap water! Use Spring ma friend.peace.

Welcome To Artists Alive 365

I have created this site to promote Orlando based artists, their events, and places that support the arts. I want to help push our scene and create something beautiful. I will be posting local based artists, art shows and venues around town that support our artists. Enjoy.
