ARTIST of the DAY: Laura Sellers

Posted on November 22, 2015November 22, 2015 by R.L. Gibson

smoky MOUNTAINS

The Smoky Mountains are celebrated for the vivid colors of fall, but those of us in the know appreciate the desaturated hues of winter. We rarely get the opportunity to celebrate artists that live so close, so we are excited to share the work of Asheville-based artist Laura Sellers, our current Artist of the Day, with you. (continues below)

Learn more about the work of AAAD Artist of the Day Laura Sellers! — *Learn more about the work of AAAD’s Artist of the Day Laura Sellers!*

“The summer series of crates were my first attempt at abstract painting on a 3-dimensional form using the desaturation scale. The entire palette was created from the combination of two complementary colors (yellow-green and purple) that when combined form a neutral grey. The colors matched the rainy summer days of the mountains perfectly, and the abstract lines mimic the horizontal landscape lines.” –Laura Sellers

CALL for ENTRIES: Animals 2

eat my
FUNGI

I’m afraid of eating wild mushrooms. Correction, I am afraid of improperly identifying a mushroom as edible and doing unexpected harm to my family. So, I have been trying to decide whether or not to grow them myself. Growing mushrooms at home always conjures images of damp, basement-like conditions. But research indicates I can crow them on logs in dappled shade, above ground, among the living, with fewer creepy-crawlies. This next Call want to know your views, wild OR domestic, but no veggies–just animals. Take a look…

DOUBLE
garden duty

We all eat massive amounts of corn. Since my husband’s Celiac diagnosis, we are a gluten-free household, and it took a lot of work. But, now it is second nature and, really, no big deal. But corn? If I had to try to cut corn out of our diets, we would starve; it is in EVERYTHING. In 2012, the USDA claimed 88% of U.S. corn is GMO. I’m not okay with that, so we are planning an attempt to grow our own soon. Meanwhile, did you know that corn does excellent double duty as a trellis for growing peas? Plus, the peas supply much-need nitrogen to the soil for the corn. Don’t you just love nature? It is in the nature of this next Call to offer DOUBLE the prizes. Make us proud…

Everyone, for better or for worse, has a place they think of as home, a place where personal histories are shaped and life is lived. For ‘At Home,’ Don’t Take Pictures seeks photographs that explore the wide array of environments that people call home.” –donttakepictures.com
