Artists

This page is my page to keep track of artists I know about and ones I want to look at and learn about.  

For the artists I know about, I’m separating this list by gender and showing the women first.  This is partially in response to seeing the Pacita Abad exhibit at the Walker Art Center.  I remember thinking how have I not seen or heard of this woman’s art and realizing how much art by women I am missing.  

Artists in this list are including because they inspire me in one way or another.  A constant theme for me is color.  

WOMEN:

• Alma Thomas - Bright colors, energetic brush strokes, uplifting.
• Kat Corrigan - Creator of beautiful art and wonderful teacher. 
  
• Hazel Belvo - Color and captures the natural world.  Exhibit at the Minnesota Museum of American Art. 
  
• Pacita Abad - Bold and impactful, strong use of color.  I feel like seeing the exhibit or her work changed my life.  Exhibit at the Walker Art Center. 

MEN:
