Welcome to the art side

Hello readers and fellow art enthusiasts. An art blog has been lingering at my fingertips for some time. Now it's happening! As a young artist, I'm all about finding images and artists that inspire me. This space will be a place to share my findings to help inspire others. Whether you are a seasoned professional, a student like myself, or an art enthusiast, I hope you enjoy what you find and that you drop by often.


We've all seen the nude in art. Academic painters painstakingly slaved over soft curves in France. Realists brought them to the everyday life. Art students have stressed over proportions in class. The nude has been and remains everywhere in art.
There's no way to explain the excitement I feel when I come across an artist breaking the nude mold. It would appear that Ryan McGinley lives his life naked or at least hangs out at nudist colonies. His series I Know Where Summer Goes emotes such joy in it's simplicity. There are no elaborate sets, no glamorous models, just the feeling of friends hanging out in the countryside. Naked in nature. Does it get any better?
