I am honored to be hanging art with these talented ladies.  There are paintings, photography, mixed-media works, video, and installation art. I took a few snap

Finished painting by Angela Canada Hopkins, Copy of Starry Night. Over the weekend a bunch of artists, including myself, volunteered to paint a community mural.  The project involved painting indoors (thank goodness 'cause it was snowing) on primed canvas sheets.  Yup, that's me painting. Eventually all the paintings will be pieced together, like a puzzle, on plywood panels

Cell No.1, Acrylic on Canvas, by Angela Canada Hopkins If you have trouble remembering 10th grade, much less specific lessons about cells during biology class, this post might be an eye opener.  Since my artwork is all based on the form, function, and sometimes freaky appearance of unhealthy cells, I've spent a lot of time researching the human body, and what happens to this essential

Cell No.21, by Angela Canada Hopkins As an artist, one of the most common questions I'm asked by fans and gallery-goers is how I come up with ideas of what to paint. Now, if you're familiar with my particular art, you know that almost all my paintings are representations of cancerous cells, a muse that found me after losing my father to the disease. While this is the foundation upon which all

Cell No.19, Angela Canada Hopkins © 2012 Most of us have had posters and photographs on our walls since childhood. It's usually not until later in life that we have the privilege of owning fine art--something that's an original, and likely painted on canvas. There's just something special about owning an oil or acrylic painting on canvas. It feels gritty, alive, faithfully serving as the

Acrylic on Canvas painting by Angela Canada Hopkins "Are they "real" cancer cells?"  This is the most frequently asked question by viewers of my paintings.  The quick answer is, no, they are not realistic medical illustrations.  They are, for the most part, conceptual where the idea and content are central. The cells are invisible underneath the surface and almost don't seem

The diversity of nature from microcosm to macrocosm can be a vast source of inspiration.  It has been a source of inspiration for scholars, scientists, and artists throughout time. Biomimicry is a new term I just learned.  It can simply be described as copying nature.  But it's more than just copying, it is the scientific practice of studying systems and elements in nature to come

Acrylic on Canvas I've been giving art lessons to a lady who wants to learn how to paint "abstracts with feeling" in 3 or 4 lessons. A tall challenge for the amount of time. It's taken me 10 plus years to figure out I really love to paint the human body abstractly...and I'm still learning.

This recipe is not healthy, but it's tasty and easy to make. I can't believe I'm confessing to eating this last night after I just finished watching Food Matters. Which I recommend you check out this amazing and informative documentary if you haven't already seen it. It reminded me why eating healthy, even a raw diet is so important.
