Self Portrait

By Blossom O’radovich


Biography

I find inspiration from many different areas of my life and through the experimentation with various mediums continue to learn my strengths and weaknesses as an artist. I can draw inspiration from anything and everything but choose my subjects mostly based on personal impact and secondly on aesthetics. I try to simplify my artwork to show the most important attributes of the subject but also enjoy realism. In contrast to my procedurally limiting studies such as chemistry, physics, and calculus, the arts affords me a creative but also therapeutic outlet I otherwise would not have. My drive comes from an opinion that art really is good or bad, in that it is not subjective; my art is either good or bad and my drive to produce “good” art inspires me to learn and grow as an artist.

Hours Old Crane Chicks

Biography

I enjoy taking pictures of wildlife because to get the great shots you have to be out very early and be very sneaky. I find it so very peaceful when it is just me and the wildlife. In order to get great shots you have to always be prepared and always have your camera. With all of my studies at school, I find the need to get away and use some of the space in my brain for other activities. I also enjoy creating art pieces out of recycled wine bottles. It is a double therapy because you not only get to be creative you also get to bleed a lot and isn’t that the cure for everything?
