A Female Artist's Perspective

2012-08-07T15:28:00.000-04:00

Recently I read an article about a man's opinion on dating his artist girlfriend. It made me take a look at who I am as an artist and how I relate to people. I'd like for a moment to speak frankly, quite frankly.

I love color. I look for patterns in everything so nothing is superficially done. I like to take my time and must be able to see the end or at least what I think is the end before I begin. Of course the end is always better than I expected because I believe God steps in and says, "Oh, a vessel is doing something, now I can make something happen." I believe artists are conduits for God.

Everything becomes a canvas from the make-up I apply just to create color on my face to the plate of food that must be presented to eat. It's all about passion. Which means that a true artist will do things from the heart. Speaking from a woman's point of view, a female artist is about the object of her attention. Whether it be a piece of paper or the one she is with. There are no comparisons only the moment at hand. Each work is it's own baby and she doesn't like picking favorites.

When in the company of an artist one should feel like the only one in the room. No conversations of others will come up unless brought up by the other person. And there are no quiet thoughts unless she has her eyes closed while dreaming. Don't be surprised if every detail of you is etched into her brain for recall at any given time. That slight smile can become an inspiration for a great romance novel, a beautiful painting, or interpreted for a dance of passion.

Now on the flip side personally: while creating I can go for hours/days without eating, brushing teeth, or changing clothes. I can look tore up from the floor up but what I'm creating won't look that way. I don't want to see you and you don't want to smell me, lol. I'm social and a loner all at once. This I don't understand at all so how can I explain it. I love people and doing activities with people but can sometimes find myself alone in a room full of people. But know that I'm observing at all times.

Yes, I can take too long by your standards just looking at the clouds. But understand I'm desperately trying to drink in the moment, to burn it into my memory in case I never get to see it again. Everything is felt deeply, love as well as pain. But even scars on the heart become a pattern, a design in the end to be expressed in some way. So in the end it too can become something beautiful to look at, or at least intriguing.

Personalized Art

2012-07-31T14:42:00.000-04:00

I'm almost finished with a project for a client who has an interest in track and field. Finishing this project while the Olympic games are happening is even more enjoyable for me. The client purchased a new home with new furnishings. Red flag, what about all that wall space? Well, he immediately contacted me to find out whether I could do a picture of a relay in cloth. I love a good challenge and so I took the job.

I've made long distance commissions before and find that asking for paint swatches from their local hardware store gives me the chance to make an even bigger impression with their art being more personalized. I also have them measure the space so that the art will take up all the emptiness around and fill it with color.

Below is a picture journal of the progress, I will submit another entry for the finished product. Enjoy!

Monarch Butterfly & Lady Bugs

2012-05-21T14:01:00.000-04:00

Recently I decided to participate in a group that is very crafty. The project we're currently working on is a quilt like piece. Each person has a square that has branches of a tree on it and each person gets to decorate their square however they want with whatever they want. Well, since I like doing things with cloth I decided to paint my leaves and add some little extras on my square in cloth. So far it looks like this.

Nothing is secured yet so the lady bugs may be in different spots in the pics. I'm not finished yet, but I really wanted to share! As with most of my pieces, the bugs are one piece of cloth each as well as the butterfly. So, the body, antennae, and wings are all one piece of cloth - not many parts secured together.

Set the Mood

2012-03-20T00:00:00.000-04:00

Wall art and decor is important in your house because, art helps set the general mood of it's surroundings. Art decor also shows your style and allows you to make your house a home, customizing each room with a painting or picture. Adding style color and pizzazz to each wall will give your home character. Before you hang those paintings and pictures make sure to choose the mood setting that you want for your house, keeping style and color in mind. Each room should be done differently to show what the room is used for. Whether it be the dining room or the kids play room, it's easy setting the mood.

There are many different moods that your house can feel like, due to wall art and decor. When choosing a mood think of picture placement, and the color scheme you want to use. Different colors can make the room say let's rock or time to relax. If you want the living room to feel warm and inviting, you should have an earth toned colored wall, with pictures hung above the couch, that are bright and colorful. If you want to make the kids room seem Fun and happy have a bright colored wall with pictures of cartoons hung everywhere.

The style of the room is also important when making the decision of what kind of art decor you should place in the room and where you should place it. If you have modern styled furniture, in a dark color you should hang modern neutral paintings and black and white portraits, wall art and decor is used to tie a room together and show class and sophistication in this style of room. Style of furniture and the placement of furniture is a big part of making the decision of what kind of art to have.

When hanging, or painting pictures in a room, placement is the last decision yet the simplest to make. Placing pictures on a bare wall or even over a couch will catch the eye and start a conversation when you have company. When painting a picture onto a wall it is always good to first draw the picture out with a pencil first, this way if you change your mind it won't mean a repaint of the walls. With a picture or piece of artwork above furniture or on a blank wall, either hammering a nail into the wall or using thumb tacks, is the easiest and most common way.

When decorating a house wall art and decor is the best way to spice things up or cool things off. With a little style and color coordination you will make your home feel the way you choose. Bringing conversation and excitement art work not only expresses the type of person you art, but also shows your kid of style.. Art work is the simplest way to change an entire room, by placing a picture on a bare wall you have added something new for the eye to catch.

Abstract Canvas Wall Art For a Modern Home

2012-03-05T14:06:00.000-05:00

Turquoise Twist by JaMax

What else would look good in a modern minimalistic home but an abstract canvas wall art. Even though art trends keep changing, abstract art is going to be popular for a very long time. Artists sometimes change the mediums used for abstract art. Back then oil paint was often used, but these days artists use acrylic, and other mixed media like screens, wood, sand, and even metal.

Mixed medium abstracts are gaining popularity too but classic abstract will remain trendy for a long time. Abstract art can be found in single piece paintings or in canvas art sets of 2 to 8 or more pieces. Canvas sets are very interesting and can add to the modernism of a home because they aren't conventional or traditional.

Another option for abstract canvas wall art are minimalist pieces which stick to one to 2 colors. The designs on these types of paintings are...well...minimalist and very simple. You can find minimalist paintings in black and white just like modern black and white photographs. These are perfect for a streamlined and clean minimalist look.

When searching for canvas wall art for your home or for a friend, take note of the home or room's color theme. Avoid getting paintings that have the exact same color as the wall so you can create interesting contrast. Get a color that is present in other decor pieces in the room like the rug, throw pillows, etc. Use a color wheel if that will help you choose an appropriate color.
Abstract canvas can be minimalist, in surrealism style, neoclassic, expressionist, or mixed media. If you want to get a painting that will last, get oil paintings on gallery wrapped canvas. These canvas wall art are painted on the best quality canvas that also look great without being framed. You can hang it straight out of the box, especially if they come ready to hang.

Find a wide collection of canvas wall art at EverythingWallArt.com and discoverer countless choices of wall art, in different painting styles.

The First Piece

2012-02-24T05:32:00.000-05:00

In 1993 I experienced an accident that put me in a full-leg cast. I had just moved and was short on cash, not a good thing when Christmas is just around the corner. It was during this time that I experienced a dream that changed my life thus far. I had a dream of being in an office building checking on my art placements from floor to floor. When I woke up I was intrigued by what and how the art looked. It was cloth on canvas in various abstract shapes and colors.

I started calling around art galleries to ask if they had such pieces, describing what I had seen in my dream. Call after call I received a negative response as to anyone ever seeing what I had described. That's when I decided to try and recreate what I had experienced. Since it was Christmas time and my mother is a collector of mother/child pictures (Madonnas) I decided to create one out of cloth. That gift was my first official cloth sculpture.

Since that time I have created sunsets, flowers, children, even lovers in cloth. I welcome you to view and even own Unique Cloth Sculptures by JaMax, http://www.clothsculptures.com/. During this blog, I look forward to sharing articles of interest concerning my work as well as art topics in general. Once again, Welcome to Blogs by Unique Cloth Sculptures by JaMax.

Life is Like...

2012-02-08T20:26:00.000-05:00

Lately I've been struggling to work on my art. Having balance to live life, care about others, write, self-maintain, and create, how does one do all that? My life is not in order but I do have small micro goals I try to obtain each day. Sometimes it includes art, sometimes it doesn't. I'm just keeping it real. This thing called life (yes Prince fans I said it) is a mystery and complex and simple and obtainable all at once. How can it be all of those things? Your input is welcomed. Until then here's a thought -

Life is like a Peach Swirl

It looks confusing but it's really only 1 piece of cloth.
It's together but it's got a loose string.
It can appear complex but it's just a painting twisted up.
It may appear to have frayed edges but it's Not coming a loose.

Mistakes to Avoid on Valentine's Day

2012-01-23T15:06:00.000-05:00

One in five guys will text their loving message on Valentine’s Day and one in ten will take to email. That doesn't even factor Facebook and Twitter professions of love. As sweet as 140 characters can be, old-school letters are more romantic. One survey found the obvious: women would be disappointed by an electronic gesture of affection.
Why it’s bad: In terms of effort, it’s minimal. It also brings a third party into your affair: your P.D.A. (your Personal Digital Assistant, not public displays of affection). It should be a given to turn it off during your candlelit dinner, but using it to profess love is detached.
The fix: Buy a blank card or take a photo of the two of you and write a message on the back. It doesn't have to be long, it can even be a quote from your favorite song. But in this technological world, handwriting holds a certain intimacy. If words just aren't your thing, make a mix CD and write out the songs in pen. Your music choices will do

Happy New Day!

2011-12-30T18:11:00.000-05:00

Some of us need deadlines and points in time to re-evaluate. Many people take this time of the year to assess their situations. I would like to challenge you to do this more often than once a year. Everyday that we awaken gives us a new fresh start. If only we could do a clean wipe of the slate more than just once a year. Believe me I'm talking to myself as well. Start fresh starting today. Even if you did something great yesterday, let that be in the past and start anew with each new day. Take the time to look back if only to see how far you've gone and to decide how much further you have to go to get to the next goal. I know this doesn't sound very artsy but, art is creation and now you have the task of creating a new tomorrow! Enjoy and Happy New Day!!!!

Commission Update

2011-12-14T04:46:00.000-05:00

Hello, all. Quite a while back I shared that I was working on a new project, well now I've had some more time to work on it and thought I'd show it as its progressing till finally I'll reveal the finished work. The pics below represent a piece I've been commissioned to make called The Hand-Off. It's the arm of the runner holding the baton and the arm of the next leg in a relay.

It will be painted in the colors to match the room that it will go into. I ask my patrons to send me paint swatches that match the colors in the room so the piece is literally made for the wall that it will go on. Each arm of the runner will be on it's own canvas 12x30 canvas. The arms are also one complete continuous piece of muslin folded in the shape of the uniform and arm. The plan is to also have the baton be continuous from the one hand. Because the hands will be the last details to fold, secure, and paint I'm not sure whether the baton will continue or need to be its own piece of cloth. There is much to do still as the canvases have to be painted and then the torsos attached. Enjoy the early photos and remember I'm not through yet.

Recently, Nov. 1, 2011, I walked into a Target and was agasp at the sight of Christmas items for sale. Then I just had to laugh at myself because I knew that I had to write a blog talking about Christmas cards in November. I remember being among the many who say, "It's not even Thanksgiving and they're already putting out Christmas stuff!" Well, here I am blogging about Christmas cards and - It's NOT even Thanksgiving! Ouch!

Friends, I would like to justify this act by saying that I make hand-made, custom to order, cards and I just can't start taking orders after Thanksgiving. So please forgive me as I tell you that you can order a fantastic card/gift for the many who are on your lists. Nothing says, "You're special to me" like a custom made Unique Cloth Sculpture item!

Art Terms

2011-10-16T20:06:00.000-04:00

Here are some terms that are often used when describing Unique Cloth Sculptures by JaMax.

Abstract*: Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.

Relief*: Relief is a sculptural technique. The term relief is from the Latin verb levo, to raise. To create a sculpture in relief is thus to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background plane.

Mixed Media*: Mixed media, in visual art, refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been employed.

Soft Sculpture*: Soft sculpture is a type of sculpture made using cloth, foam rubber, plastic, paper, fibers and similar material that are supple and nonrigid.

Cloth Sculpture: Cloth sculpture is a type of sculpture made using cloth, hand-folded to achieve the finished product.

The Spiritual Connection

2011-09-10T16:49:00.001-04:00

Recently a friend who did not know my whole story about how and when I started doing cloth sculptures wrote and told me, "I can feel a spiritual connection through your art." It was then that I explained the spiritual side to my artwork.

It is true that I pray over all my pieces since 1996 especially for the area of healing. Not only do I sanctify (set aside for the use and purpose of God) the cloth, but whenever possible I have even had ministers pray over the cloth that I use. I believe just as people brought cloths for Jesus to pray over and they took them back with the anointing over them for healing, I asked God for the same to be over my art made of the cloth that has been prayed over.

Because of how I first got started doing this art form (see "The First Piece" blog) I always acknowledge God in thanksgiving and prayer before I work on the pieces. I then submit myself to Holy Spirit and ask for him to guide & direct my hands while creating. It is truly a commune with God while I work on these pieces. I thank God for His presence being acknowledged before I could fully share my testimony. As for me, I find it difficult to separate God, creation, & art. For He is the ultimate creator and everyday He paints a new sunset.

Viewing Art Can Reduce Stress

2011-03-24T07:34:00.000-04:00

In UK there is an increase in the number of people suffering from stress and other related symptoms. Professor Angela Clow, from the University of Westminster studied the stress levels of 28 participants.

They were all under increased stress. The researcher tells us that saliva cortisol levels are the best indicators of one’s stress level.
The participant’s saliva cortisol levels were tested after they spent their lunch hour viewing art. It was very surprising to see that their saliva cortisol levels reduced by 32%.

But usually it would take about five hours for the cortisol level to fall to this extent but this was possible in a short time period of 40 minutes. These people had visited the Guildhall Art Gallery in the City of London and wandered for 40 minutes.

New Commission - 1st Folds

2011-03-16T19:59:00.002-04:00

My current project is a commission for a track enthusiast. The nice part about a cloth sculpture is that they can be free flowing abstract pieces, people, and/or things. Moving into a new home is exciting, but even more exciting is decorating a new home. I spoke to my latest client over the phone and asked for him to email me pictures of a relay exchange. It was already established that he wanted a track theme that could cover quite a bit of wall.

While shopping I suddenly had a vision of using two panel canvases to create a larger work. Each runner will now have their own panel. Roughly, the work should be about 16 x 60. Here is an extremely early peek at the beginning of a cloth sculpture.

Upon completion this should resemble a relay runner's arm passing a baton. Stay tuned as I post more progressions.

How to Have Commissioned Art on a Budget

2011-03-05T10:11:00.003-05:00

Often people think of commissioned pieces and they think wow maybe one day I can afford to do something like that. When the truth is you can afford to do it right now! Why? Because with a commission you are already establishing up front what you CAN afford. It truly is creating custom art just for you.

One of my favorite commissions was when I was brought on to create the focal point of a room. The couple was redecorating their bedroom. They had already picked out a favorite sheet pattern so the color palette had already been established. From there I received a pillowcase and that's what influenced the creation of the piece. To begin the process, we negotiated the size artwork that they could afford. This is what most people don't understand. They didn't commission a $3,000 piece they commissioned what was within their means. If your budget can only handle a certain amount then that's what is established upfront, it's up to the artist to let you know if that's possible. In most cases the artist can control the price by size and complexity. It's up to you to decide if the cost is within your grasp.

As with most cases this couple had a decorating budget, so they had a price in mind for art within that budget. After the focal piece was created, we then picked a wall color to complement the piece. The couple loved their piece so much, that they decided to have another complementing work commissioned for another wall in the room. This second work was smaller than the first and had the same exact colors so as to color coordinate the room. The final touch was for me to create a hand-painted cloth throw pillow to match the sheet design. Keep in mind that swatches were used from the time the original sheet pattern was picked so the wall art colors custom matched the store bought sheets. Once the cloth was painted it was ready to go to their seamstress to create the custom throw pillow. However, when I returned I found that the couple had put the cloth on stretchers as a third original piece. They had fallen in love with the cloth and had decided that they wanted it on the wall instead of on their bed.

Their room had been transformed into a master bedroom art gallery! All they needed to complete their look was a comforter, throw pillows (store bought), and curtains. All these items were purchased with the original artwork in mind. Three of the four walls were commissioned art based on their budget. Indeed, the budget did expand as they fell in love with adding additional pieces. But the bottom line of the story is, that they only spent what they were willing and able to spend. They now were the proud owners of unique, commissioned artwork.

You don't have to be a Rockefeller to own original art pieces, you just need to have a room, a wall, and a budget. No one decides to redecorate a room without a budget, just make sure you include artwork with your calculations.

What's your favorite hobby? Favorite colors? Favorite destination? Why not have a commissioned piece created as the focal point of a room.

Oversized Canvas Wall Art - How To Decorate Your Office

2011-02-22T20:04:00.000-05:00

Decorating your work space or office building can pose a challenge even for a professional designer. You'll have to deal with large spaces, big empty walls, and buying decor pieces and canvas wall art. Furniture can easily fill up floor space but your walls can be more difficult to decorate.

Hanging paintings or canvas prints in small rooms is easy but decorating bigger spaces like walls in a high ceiling lobby or a long hallway can be difficult. There is a solution to decorating huge walls in an office building by hanging oversized paintings.

You can get one single piece of painting or use canvas art sets. These canvas sets compose of 2 to over 8 pieces of canvas to make a bigger artwork. It's practical in a way because it will be easier to hang sets due to smaller sizes of the canvas pieces.

Imagine the trouble of installing a wall sized painting at an office lobby. Hanging several smaller canvas pieces makes more sense since the artwork will be divided into several pieces that are smaller and lighter. These canvas art sets also come in different sizes.

There are rectangular sets that go vertically or horizontally. Some are square and others are offset. Offset canvas wall art are made of several pieces of canvas in different sizes. Making them look quite interesting and creative.

Abstract canvas in offset, oversized or in sets are very in demand for decorating offices, but you can also get other themes like a seascape or other subjects for a more casual look. A large seascape canvas would look great at a travel agency office.

Other places you can place oversized canvas art sets aside from offices are at hospitals, large restaurants, clubs and even in a residential home with a high ceiling. When buying your canvas wall art, remember that canvas sets can be hung inches apart making them wider or bigger.

Get paintings that would go with the surrounding. Abstracts would go well in a modern office, and traditional paintings for a more conventional look. Get artwork painted on gallery wrapped canvas so you can hang them as soon as you get them.
