Princess Bizares

by Princess Bizares on 12/01/2016 in SILA Member Artists

I work with both traditional and digital mediums, but the process is usually the same. I am constantly inspired by nature and the people around me–the stories they have to tell. Never without a sketchbook and pen, I go to the zoo, cafes, museums, the arboretum, anywhere, and observe the scene before me. I am fascinated by the different shapes, quirks, and mannerisms people, animals, and even trees possess.

Rebecca Harrison Reed

by Rebecca Harrison Reed on 12/02/2018 in SILA Member Artists

My artwork has always been narrative, and it is inspired by my love of a good story. I create my strongest work when I am able to develop a deep passion for the characters, story, and setting in the books I illustrate and write. And I enjoy escaping completely into the worlds I create for my characters. I tend to gravitate toward intelligent stories that are classical, historical, dark, or mysterious, as well as stories with true heart and characters. Humor is also a prevalent element in my work.
Stylistically, my illustrations tend to be somewhat realistic, traditional fine art paintings with a slightly stylized, childlike feel. My artwork is frequently influenced by the works of John Singer Sargent, Edwin Austen Abbey, Rembrandt Van Rijn, and numerous children’s book illustrators. I have recently found a new home working in pastel on black paper, which has allowed me to work quickly and loosely, and has also opened up my imagination to story ideas and illustrations in areas I may not have previously explored.
