Art as inspiration? Art is beautiful and all around, whether you're looking for it or not. One area of art and expression that is probably overlooking the most would be clothes and fashion. Clothes are everywhere and anywhere, beautiful or not.
Lilly Pulitzer just happens to be a bright and beautiful clothing line that is an art inspiration to me. The colors and intricate designs start at the drawing board, working up from paintings, to fabric, to unique clothing.
Lilly Pulitzer herself started this major brand as a newlywed working a citrus stand. Designing this print to cover up bright stains, hence the bright patterns and colors. I love how she turned something so practical into something so beautiful and wanted.
This huge empire of luxury clothes and accessories has inspired so many woman, and girls of all ages, to be bright and bold. This preppy look has become so popular that it has even dipped into menswear.
Lilly Pulitzers preppy iconic look, gives me daily inspiration. I can't help but smile when looking at the great colors. It has inspired me in every way, from clothing, to creativity. I find myself attracted to Lilly-esc things all the time.
Something, not someone, inspires me on a daily basis. Photography. Not one particular artist, or camera, or even picture. I am in love with photography and being able to capture the right moment at the right time, right angle, and right framing. I love how anyone, at anytime, can capture something great.
Dorothea Lange is an artist that has captured a beautiful moment of raw emotion. Lange is an artist who has become famous due to her amazing photographs of raw emotion. I love this photo and the all the details in the frame, even though it is in black and white, you can see her emotion and beauty of her face.
I love photography and I find myself looking at the world as a way of a potential photograph. Pictures can be such a starting point for many other art forms as well, which is also why I love it. I am able to take pictures myself and use them in different ways and inspiration.
I took the photo above, and I enjoy knowing that what stands between me and the amazing photographers of the world, is experience, equipment, and connections. And not me, but anyone that has a camera in hand, and sees the world through a lens.
