  • October – “Direction”

    October – “Direction”

    Sabra Issa Avatar

    After contemplating the sense of rhythm in my art practice, the thought about direction came up almost inevitably. Where to go? What to reach? A straight line ahead, or venturing out and coming back to home base? A long trip or short, spontaneous ones? I’m one of those people who walk into a store and…

    “Reach” – A monthly inspiration post

    Every first Friday of the month I post a royalty-free photo and a word that I feel suits it. Perhaps it will inspire you to think, draw, paint or even just enjoy it.  It’s still a very tensed time on Earth right now and I wanted to break my own cycle of daily negativity by…

    Free clay figure references

    I’ve recently created a few clay figures, just to have something do to at night when I do feel like painting. It’s quite challenging!
