Yvonnes Art Room
My blogs
| Introduction | It's been a few years since starting the blog. My art journey so far has involved experimenting with various art materials, mediums and techniques. Most images are inspired by interests about natural environment and concerns about the impact of human activity on ecosystems. Recently I have been exploring the ideas of deep ecology, which views nature as having intrinsic value in and of itself rather than its value as commodity alone. I am hoping that exploring eco-centric themes will help me to cultivate art that in someway is both stimulating and meaningful. I like to share various artists and writers quotes phrases and stories that inspire which also key into these ecological themes . I endeavour to update with new ideas and art bi-monthly. Thankyou for visiting my art room. : ) P.S. Please click onto the imagery to magnify : ) |
