where craftiness comes from: lakshmi

By dannielle-cresp on November 30, 2011

Lakshmi is an architect and mother of two, living in Australia but originally from India. Recently, we caught up to discuss where her craftiness comes from. Lakshmi is the artist behind Studio Lakshmi, where she shares her beautiful paintings. Her earliest memory of being creative is as a child, when she created “goodbye cards” for [...]

Memento Vita: Remembrances and Gratitude

Memento Vita: Remembrances and Gratitude

By gwyn-michael on November 21, 2011

My very first post here on Scoutie Girl asked the age old question, “What is Art?” It started an interesting conversation in the comments. In the seven or so months since, I am still exploring that question, or rather a derivative of it. What is art good for? I carry a moleskine or the like [...]

passion + painting from jeremey miranda

By Brittni Mehlhoff on February 28, 2011

Last week, I found the work of Jeremy Miranda, who was recently a featured seller on Etsy. And as I read through his interview, I realized that Jeremy’s work would be perfect for SG in the wake of Tara’s most recent posts about the definition of passion. This guy not only creates really great paintings, [...]

annamaria potamiti + the power of storytelling

By Brittni Mehlhoff on October 11, 2010

One of the things that I always make an attempt to do over the weekend (when I have time) is catch up on blogs and sites that I haven’t visited in a while. And since I finished my to-dos a little earlier than I expected, I was able to search through a few artists’ blogs, [...]

hand-painted paper cut & pinprick collages: lena wolff

By Brittni Mehlhoff on August 2, 2010

With laundry piling up, the kids home for summer, and that never ending to-do list, life can get a little crazy sometimes. And when it does, I always make an attempt to get outside : take a walk through the park or a long bike ride to lunch – something like that. Being around nature, with [...]
