When asked how she might advise people in the community to better understand or engage with art, Abby plainly says that since everyone's experience with art is different, she can hardly advise anyone how to engage with it. Her suggestion is, "...to be open to ideas and concepts that you wouldn't otherwise look for. Don't prefer an art because it's hyper-realistic, prefer an art because you like it. Don't make cut offs simply because a label appears." You can find Abby's art on her website www.colorwired.com as well as on social media (follow links) Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, ArtAmino and Diviantart. If you'd like to contact the artist or purchase a piece of colorWIRED, you can email colorWIRED at [email protected]. |
Showcase artist: colorwired The artist behind colorWIRED, Abby Butler, has an affinity for art and learning. Always striving to better her practice and talents, the young Albuquerque artist says she draws her inspiration from several concepts including music, games, nature, feelings, colors and scientific study. It's evident in her use of the abstract to portray the subjective through her art. She says, "To me, Art is existence of thought. I have a sister who is a mathematician and when she explains what she does, my thought process to try and understand is to draw the concept. Math is everything. Art is everything. It's just the side you see it from that helps you understand." |
