Dear Friends -
After the announcement of my new 2017/18 Creative Team I have a huge pleasure to introduce its new talented members - last week you met Tanyalee, Bipasha & Juliya and today you have another great chance to get to know two more Teamies!
I'm already rubbing my hands in excitement! :)
I'm so very pleased to introduce:
Kelly Mumford
1. Where are you from?
I am from the Bay Area California. I was born here (east
bay) and still live here today. I love being so close to the many
amazing cities here. San Francisco is of course my favorite. The
Legion of Honor is there, my favorite fine art museum. I also adore the
town of Half Moon Bay.
A great day for me is my husband and I packing
a picnic, my travel art supplies, and the bulldogs for a relaxing and
restoring day at the beach. The beach is my happy place!
2. What is always there on your table?
A LOT of stuff! Essential oil diffuser with tons of essential oils, a cup of tea , tubes of acrylic paint, spray bottle with water, ink, glitter,
paintbrushes, palette, scissors, papers, gel medium, & the list goes
on and on! :)
3. What is your favorite color palette?
Usually all the bright, vibrant colors. I love
blues and greens. I have a paintbrush & palette tattoo on my wrist.
The blobs of paint on it are the shades of the darkest cobalt blue to
sea foam green. Colors of the sea!
I am most comfortable in front of a blank canvas
and easel. I love to gaze at a white canvas and see what appears to me. I
love to paint intuitively. I am always dreaming of what to paint next.
5. What are you inspired by?
I am inspired by many things. Color is always a main source of
inspiration. My goal is have the viewer of my art experience feelings of
joy and happiness. Color is so powerful!
I am also inspired by other
artists, great ones of the past and current artists of today. The beauty
of the world inspires me, nature and textures. Inspiration is
everywhere you look, from the puffy clouds in a blue sky to the colors
and sights of big city streets!
I am filled with excitement from the
endless possibilities. It’s a fresh start to try something new!!! No
fear! Be brave and create!
7. Cats or dogs?
Dogs! (Sorry cats) I have two English bulldogs, Daisy
and Pearl. You can find them in my art studio, snoring on the couch
while I paint. ❤️
8. Tea or coffee?
Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon!:)
9. Simple or messy?
MESSY! Embrace the wonderful creative mess! I love
to have paint all over my hands and use the back of my hand as a palette
sometimes!
10. What are you dreaming about?
I am always dreaming of painting and living with
my husband and the bulldog babes on the island of Maui. I have a deep,
heart & soul connection to Hawaii, and we hope to one day live
there. Painting in paradise is MY dream! Aloha!
