Huge Mechanical Sculpture

Art fueled by passion…3 artists aspire to attain a traveling art show, but not just any art show. This one will include a massive art form which will combine the concepts of engineering, painting and sculpture. This piece will be built from recycled and re-purposed parts as well as include a spinning painting as a central part of the whole. Other pieces in the exhibit include devices built from household items that are renewable, as well as animated pieces of statues and sculptures. These artists are very passionate about their work and aspire to succeed in the art industry.

Eco Monsters

This fun project was partly inspired by a mom’s love of the monster art form. When her two children started drawing monsters it took her back to an interest she had in monsters while growing up in Japan. Her children had main themes behind the drawings which included environmental concerns, so this new project began. The goal is to have people send in drawings of monsters, (for example, Godzilla), with the environment in mind. These monsters are called Eco-Monsters. Drawings will be chosen for a book and a mobile art display. There will be a website and chosen artwork will be submitted to art galleries.
