Visual Artist Not a Painter

Writer's picture: Eileen A ArtEileen A Art
The act of painting can be done by anyone, regardless of skill level, whether a child or an adult... Being a visual artist is not the same as being a painter.

Recently I visited a gallery store to ask how can I be part of their collection and the attendant ( who seemed to be the owner) asked me; What do you paint ? Instantly my brain exploded in to micro Mad Face Emojis 😡😡😡 . Sorry sir but I 'am an visual artist, NOT A PAINTER.

I went in there to offer the Tree of life fine art collection; Made with a material commonly used for crafting, it was a great fit for his gallery. He gave me his business card and told me to email him my portfolio… when I got home, decided not to send him my art submission because of his restricted perception of the arts. You can not encase art just to the painting medium, otherwise creativity will be limited and boring!

Art is a visual form of expression ; But IT IS not limited to the commonly known drawing, painting. ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, crafts, photography, video, film making, industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art , architecture and you will see the list go on.

Creating art invariably includes painting or coloring, yet it extends beyond a flat canvas surface. Artists transport our minds to a natural, instinctive state, freeing us from the monotony of daily life.

YOU are welcome to immerse yourself in art. Thank you for reading to my rant.


See you next time; Have fun and create!
