Introducing a breath of fresh air...Jen Hardwick,  Jen is a Seattle-based artist that specializes in art assemblage pieces using a combination of new and recycled materials. Her work is just so fresh and creative. This is the kind of artist that I want to be when I grow up (...lol I am probably older than her.) And of course, Jen is self-taught. Amazing....   The Bee Collector

  The purpose of this blog is to share with the world what is new and exciting in the contemporary folk art field. Before I do that, I feel it is best to define exactly what that is. By definition folk art is any art done by self taught artists. Historically, this has been art created by unskilled "naive." They would often recreate scenes of the rural country side or the environment of

This is an intention art painting I did for my sister Beth for her fiftieth birthday. I put the intention in it for her let her heart fly free and find true love. I told her to meditiate on it for a few minutes every day. Let her soul feel the feeling that she would like to find in true love. She probably won’t do it. She never listens to me….. They don’t appreciate me.LOL.Happy Friday

It is like we hardly know what to do with ourselves.  School hasn't started but, a lot of fall activities have.   We are trying to gear up for next year while not wanting to let go of the summer. It was glorious. I am working on a new website devoted to all American Folk Art. What it is, it's history, famous artists and contemporary artists, and galleries. It will be very

I had a wonderful weekend visiting some childhood haunts of mine. It was a lot of fun sharing them with my kids. It brought back many feelings of my childhood of freedom. I know it is weird because, I didn't have much freedom as a child. Now I know that I did. The freedom of stress, worry and fear. It was a time to just enjoy the day. Each day is a gift. This week I am going to try to capture

I am happy to be back in the studio painting. Sometimes I think I get bored or less than motivated painting the same type of painting all the time, no matter how well received they are. When this happens I always start crafting or painting something totally different. This time it was ghosts and buttons. Then, like clock work, I find myself drawn to the primitive folk art again. What is meant to

  Take a look at this. I just had this divine inspiration to do something different this week for my big painting.  I really don't know how it will go over but, I really love it.  The hand with the eye in it represents reality. What we see and feel using our brains. The mother and baby inside the heart represents our soul, the purest love that we have is our connection to our

What I love about this time of year is that I have the time to experiment with different kinds of paintings. My husband is a very active hunting enthusiast.  So, last weekend we visited a skull mount taxidermist. While, my daughter Autumn was picking up her mount. I wondered around a bit.  I found it very interesting seeing all the skulls there lined up together by species. It was just

Here is what I am working on currently in the studio. Not just the paintings but, I have an idea for creating some hangers for the paintings. This is the one I did yesterday but, it seems a little flimsy. I got the idea from my friend and artist Julie-Ann Bowden. If you have been following me for a while you know that I love Julie's work. I am saving to buy a commission from her. I am going to

But seriously, I know that summer just started (not officially) but, I can't wait for to start painting Halloween paintings. I love the feel of Halloween.

I wanted to start a blog that highlights and inspires more primitive decor. I will keep this blog for my artwork and the new blog www.paintingprimitives.com will be more with my adventures. Each week, I will visit a Primitive Decor Shop in Pennsylvania and surrounding areas and feature it in my blog. I feel that this will be great for everyone, my followers and the shop owners.  It gives the

I created this little painting some time ago. It is an example of the kind of painting that I want to get back to painting very soon. There was a story behind everything that was in the painting.  See what you can figure out. I would love to hear what you might think is going on!Stay weird, Kori

This weeks blog I want to talk a little about a new service that I am offering at my website  That is instant art downloads. Imagine the possibilities in being able to download a high quality image to your desktop and printing it right from your printer in whatever size and quantity that you need. This is such a money saving break through for artists and their collectors everywhere.

This week we are making up for lost time. The last couple of weeks, I have been very busy with visiting relatives and my son's birthday party. Now everything is back to normal and that is a really good feeling. I have a commission to get started. However, I am excited to get started on new paintings. Nothing beats that feeling to me.

I finished the small quilt painting that I was working on last week which will be posted tonight on EBay.   Jesse's Tree that I posted a couple days ago is not for sale.  I am having a lot of fun in the studio this week because, I am working on a class schedule for my drawing class.

This is a picture I made years ago featuring my nephew Jesse. Jesse just celebrated his twenty first birthday on Sunday. So I went down to visit with him in his new bachelor pad.  This might all seem very normal except for the fact that Jesse is severely mentally and physically retarded. He has been in a wheel chair and totally dependent on other people his entire life. He doesn't know any
