April 9th 2021
Our painting students had a virtual studio visit with Lindsay Stripling in early April 2021 and had the opportunity to ask questions and dig into the creative process.
Lindsay talked about being interested in time and space and creating communities in dream worlds. Portals and windows into new places feature prominently in her work. During the conversation, Lindsay reflected on finding one's own creative style and allowing yourself to be surprised in the process of making. Her advice was to relish the idea part of the process—in that moment, anything is possible!
Visit Lindsay Stripling’s website to see her pensive, playful work.
Here are some of the questions Bay students asked:
- How has your art changed overtime?
- What is your definition of art?
- What is your favorite medium to work with?
- How did you choose the medium that you work with?
- What inspires you?
- What do you do if you are feeling stuck or uninspired?
- Do you find yourself painting for yourself or do you paint for other people? For example do you find yourself changing what you paint based on what other people think?
- How important is nature to you and incorporating it into your artwork?
- What helps you be vulnerable in your painting?
- Who is another artist who inspires you?
- What inspired you to be an artist?
- Are some of the figures in your work representations of you?
- Is there something from your past that first inspired you to get into art, or have you always been drawn to creativity?
- What different techniques do you use to add little details to your paintings?
- How would you describe your art style?
- What is the hardest part of the art process for you?
- Do you have a theme throughout your work?
