Social media and Networking
Derby Week is upon us here in Louisville! Not a lot of time to paint...but have camera will travel!! Looking forward to getting some unforgettable shots for future reference. Once again, thank you Artebella for featuring me...what a great site!!! My blog has seen more activity in the last two days than the last two months. I know I'm taking this in baby steps, but I can't say enough about how important social media is to us artists...It can take you all over the globe! I'm still trying to do a lot of networking...Didn't have too much luck going to our local art shops with my Kentucky Derby cards...seems they all have their sources already! BUT, onward and upward! I'm not giving up!!! New territory the week after Derby...NULU district? hmmmm
Article published by Artebella~ thank you!!!!
When painter Cheryl Buhrman states that she appreciates the spontaneity she achieves with acrylic paint, it is easy to see the evidence in the loose brushwork in her most recent paintings. After years working with other mediums, primarily oils, this shift has resulted in work that seems fresh and exploratory.
In her artist’s statement, Buhrman explains: “Nature and mans relationship with his individual environment is what inspires me. I get lost in my own little world when painting a subject trying to depict ‘that special’ emotional quality I want to get across. My goal is to make the viewer ‘be there’" Such immediacy can be found in Buhrman’s study of a vintage automobile; the marks expressing vigorous energy and a suggestion of emotion that speaks to the period character of the vehicle.
Buhrman’s work will be featured in the fall 2016 Louisville Artisans Guild Holiday Showcase. In 2015 she was awarded 2nd Place in the American Pharaoh art contest presented by Triple Crown Dentistry, and has taught art for approximately seven years in Virginia and Kentucky on elementary and secondary levels.
