Ars longa, vita brevis. This ancient Latin quote attributed to the Greek Hippocrates best describes the reason for this blog. "Art is long, life is short." In an attempt to regain my health after years of illness, I decided to once again delve into the world of art, reigniting the passion within my soul. And maybe, my muse will inspire you in the same way that mine has been inspired by others.
Artist Trading Cards
It was early in 2011 that I learned what an Artist Trading Card was. I had no idea that artists were creating individual pieces of art and simply giving them away in artist communities. After learning all of this, I had to jump on the bandwagon. Lately, I have been attempting to create ATC's based on the Jewish Hamsa. Often known as the Hand of Fatima in Islamic cultures, the Hamsa is used to bring its owner good luck and ward off the evil eye. Using the same template for each ATC, I have been inspired to create an entire series and simply allow my muse to express herself in whatever way she chooses. If you feel inspired by one of the designs, please email me and I will attempt to send a Hamsa your way.
