Art Blog Author Kathryn Kaiser – Human & Figurative Artist
Art Blog is largely a visual journal of inspiring art, artists and creatives; people who inspire my life and my craft. There may a bit of politics thrown in. Nudge. Wink. This journal is my way of educating myself, sifting through the difficult issues, and visualizing a better world. See a bit more about Kathryn here.
Please never stop advocating for the disenfranchised and for the future generations of our world.

A visual journey into some of Chagall's unforgettable designs for the stage. Costumes, sets and backdrops for theatre and ballet. Designing for the theatre combined Chagall's love of mythology, drama, romance and music.
Baya Mahieddine was known simply as Baya. Her work until recently was defined by her relationships with the male artists in her life. The truth may well be closer the the fact that she influenced their work considerably.
I suppose because my focus is figurative art in a more traditional sense, and because I feel the pull of the demands and expectations of the outside world on my work, one of my favourite sculptural pieces is "Expansion" by Paige Bradley.
