LIFE IS A JOURNEY

Presented by The New Village Arts, featured paintings by Foundry artist, T. Marguerite will be on exhibit as a part of the monthly ART BY CANDLELIGHT show presented as part of the Thursdays on the Coast: The Experience Art Walk in the Village of Carlsbad. Thursday, May 26 from 5:30-8:30pm, with Music by The BIGFELLAS  “San Diego's Best Local Band" (U-T Readers Poll)

T.Marguerite’s fascination with art began as a very young child in preschool. Big fat crayons and building blocks abounded, filling her senses. She discovered oil painting at age 7 at the Sawdust Festival while vacationing in Laguna Beach. At age 9 she began oil painting at Arlington Art Studio’s spending several years there. Forced to paint realistic landscapes and still life from what she calls “dreary painting manuals” she eventually rebelled against realism. She found a kindred spirit in Emerson’s “Art” essay quote: “In fine arts not imitation but creation is the aim. In a portrait the painter must inscribe the character and not the features, in landscape a suggestion of a fairer creation than we know.” In fact passion for reading has introduced her many influences including Dali, De Chirico & Picasso.

 

Trisha is very grateful to have her new studio in The Art Foundry @ NVA and looks forward to surrounding herself with like minded people. She hopes to learn, develop and grow as an artist while working hard to take her art to the next new and exciting place.

Work by the 17 resident artists will also be on display at the New Village Arts Theatre Art Foundry, 2787 State Street in the Carlsbad Village, and there will be a “Create Your Own Art” area for attendees to indulge their inner artistic spirit!
