be inspired
As our treasured holiday tradition, we would like to greet the new year with a piece of art by an amazing artist from Creative Growth Art Center, one of the oldest and largest nonprofit art studios for artists with disabilities.
MARION BOLTON
Born 1961, Fort Worth, Texas
Has practiced at Creative Growth since 1999
Marion Bolton works from reference, often choosing books of nature photography as a point of departure. He reduces his subject matter to fields of bright color with expressive linear details, beginning in pencil and filling in with thick layers of pastel. While his depictions of animals and flowers are detailed and precise, his renderings of people exaggerate limbs or facial features. Sometimes bordering on the abstract, he captures the figure’s essence while simplifying the form and turning up the gesture.
As we take a moment at year's end to express our thanks to our clients and associates, we wish to share this inspiration with you.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
