Piece description from the artist
Morning glories bloom during the morning hours and last for about a day. On our front deck I planted a package of seeds in a giant wine barrel. Before long the seeds sprouted into long vines that climbed up the side of the house. For the season of their bloom I enjoyed watching new flowers open every morning with my coffee. By evening the same blooms would gracefully close to give way to new flowers the next day. This painting reminds me of the time I spent studying the life cycle of this beautiful plant. After the last flower had fallen I collected the seeds to plant the following year.
Natalia Evans is a California based artist, illustrator and teacher.
She studied art at UCSC and graduated with a Liberal Arts Degree in 2003. Her love for art lead her to develop after school art programs for youth centers in Santa Cruz and Alaska. In 2012 Natalia opened her own studio in Topanga Canyon. She teaches art to children and adults year round. Natalia’s passion for art is fueled by teaching others to discover their creative voice.
Natalia approaches her own work the same as she approaches meditation. When she enters a painting her intention is to be in a clear, positive space. She believes paintings are a reflection of one’s inner state. Each piece begins with a “map”. She draws a series of lines on the blank canvas and defines a range of colors to work with. After this point she allows the piece to create itself. Nature and its endless cycles, are the main sources of inspiration behind her work.
