"About Me"

Welcome to Flippy Art! I have an obsession for flip-flops, hence the title.

I'm definitley no where close to becoming a formal appreciator of art, but I can certainly 'appreciate' the dedication, time and heart so many artists put into their majestic (and sometimes dreary) works of art. I thoroughly enjoy gazing at vintage art, though our walls are covered by an eclectic collection of different pieces. We try to purchase art from everywhere we travel. This has served as an excellent memory maker. I treasure each piece dearly.

My husband has an incredibly expensive addiction to Will Rafuse. While I can appreciate his taste, mine is a bit more whimsical. Mackenzie Thorpe and Beth Hendrickson-Logan are two of my favorite artists. Their outlooks on life shine through their pieces. I love looking at art that keeps me intrigued. There is something so significant with regards to being able to take something different away from a work of art each time you look at it. I often try to put myself in the artist's shoes (or paintbrushes, lol) and attempt to find hidden meaning in each piece. I have a soft spot in my heart for artistic children and charitable art projects for kids such as M.D. Anderson's Cancer Center Art Project. http://www.childrensartproject.org/

As much as I appreciate looking at art, unfortunately, I have trouble even drawing a stick figure. My love is through the lens of a camera. Camera art intrigues my soul.

Perhaps one day, I'll be able to touch someone the way so many artists have touched my life on so many different levels.
