Paintings & Art Instruction by D A - Design and Art

One of the biggest influences on my artistic career. I have loved her from the moment I saw her first work. My grandmother, also a painter, told me at a very young age that my work reminded her of O'Keeffe. So have many others since. Such an honor. We feel the same peacefulness at work it seems.

“Great artists don’t just happen,” Georgia O’Keeffe once said. “They have to be trained, and in the hard school of experience.”

'My 86yo grandmother and her handmade needle point chair. 25 years in the making and 14 threads per inch. She used to pick up road kill from the side of the road to compare thread colours. She also bought a peacock for colour comparison. I am not allowed to sit in it.'
