The Pollyanna Principle

by netGALAXY Studios | Sep 3, 2015 | Art Instruction, Fine Art, Motivational, Portraiture, Theatre Related, Uncategorized, World View

I’ve been singing, acting, writing and painting for many years, thinking I was bringing something to these disciplines, something valuable, something of beauty. It is humbling, to say the least, when we inevitably encounter those moments which awaken us from the...

The Faceless Hordes

by netGALAXY Studios | Aug 14, 2015 | Art Instruction, Fine Art, Motivational, Portraiture, Uncategorized, World View

This is an excerpt from Quench, available soon! Through The Quench Project I simply want to give a face to the faceless hordes. When seen as a wash of humanity it is easy to lose sight of the individuals comprising the whole. My goal in coming here was not to document...

Image ownership has become more and more blurred with Instagram and other social media “re-purposing” original images.  I recently read a great article with an update on this fascinating and important subject, especially for artists. I wrote extensively...

Practice

by netGALAXY Studios | May 9, 2015 | Art Instruction, Fine Art, Motivational, Theatre Related, World View
