"What makes the desert beautiful,"
says the little prince, "is that somewhere it hides a well." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry 29 June 1900 – 31 July 1944 My talent for art was discovered when I was about thirteen years old during an assignment in art class. I rediscovered my love of art in college while working in the Art Department as an artist's model. The sights and sounds drew me in, enchanted me. I have shifted my focus for the time being from illustration, preferring instead to paint images of people in simple poses conveying complex emotions. I like to see how much I can communicate through a simple shift in the eyes, or a turn of the lip, or a subtle gesture of the hand. I believe that rendering my human forms this way, with uncluttered grace and beauty, reveals the shapes of the souls within them. Above everything, like my betters who came before me, I strive to locate the wellspring hidden in every desert. Every painting I complete reveals something about myself I hadn't considered before, and helps me see my subject in a new and ever-expanding awareness. That is - and should always be - what good art is all about. As for my membership with Model Mayhem: I am looking for inspiring, emotional photography that will help me build my portfolio of work exploring the human form. Although I typically paint female nudes, I am also driven to master the art of human portraiture. If you have a photograph you would like to see as part of a painting, feel free to contact me at miriam@mimitopa.com. Credit Notes
