Profile

Hometown:: Houston, TX by way of Toledo, OH

Relationship Status:: In a Relationship

About Me:: I'm new here from Toledo, Ohio - a city with a huge arts community. I was the art director and senior designer for the local alternative weekly, and involved with the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo and several independent art, music and performance groups. I'm trying to find my niche within the Houston art scene, so please be patient with me while I'm catching up!

I'm already ambitious enough - or maybe unbalanced enough - to undertake a major project here, so check my Artomatic blog if you're interested in knowing more about it.

By the way, I promise to customize my profile pretty soon. Being a web and graphic designer, I feel like a real chach using a default template.

Favorite Artists/Performers:: It's hard to really name many favorites yet from the Houston area. In general, Chuck Close, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Chiho Aoshima, Tamara de Lempicka, Dustin Hostetler, Chris Lyons, Wim Wenders, Helen Kane, Joel Washing, John Lennon and my father.

Favorite Visual Art Spaces:: I'm still learning about all this... so far, I've been impressed with everything I've seen, as I tend to hang out in the "underground." I can tell you one thing, the Toledo Museum of Art - despite being one of the best museums in the nation - is waaaaay more conservative than MFAH. (To its detriment, of course.)

The Beer Can House brings me indescribable joy.

Favorite Performing Art Spaces:: I miss Super Happy Fun Land...

Amanda K. Wolfe's Blog

My last title was meant to be self-deprecatingly snarky, but sounded sarcastic instead, so I'm changing it.

Okay, all... if you haven't read my prior blog, and are interested in being a part of a large visual/performance/etc. festival put on by artists, for artists, please read it. I just received word from the founders of the Artomatic "brand" in Washington DC that a Houston Artomatic would be a great idea. So, instead of being an idiot with a dream, I'm now an idiot with a dream and actual backing and guidance from those who first conceived the concept. If you have any desire for involvement, please… Continue

Artomatic, anyone?

Hi, several hundred strangers. There's a festival I'm trying to bring to Houston. It began in DC, then sprouted up in my hometown of Toledo, Ohio, and as the original intent was to spread the "brand" to other cities, Houston looks to be an ideal location for its third incarnation. One of the reasons this city is so ideal for Artomatic is because not only is there a greater investment in the arts here than in most other cities (it may not seem that way to the natives, but it's true), but also be… Continue

Thank you for finding my words inspiring. I strongly believe he purpose of art, and ourselves as 'creative beings' is to radiate inspiration and devotion. I strive, and seek to inspire others, for the fruits and vegatables of the vine; and not starving from the accepted crumbly meat that falls from some collectors'- no, plantation owners'- table!

So, it warms me to read that my goal has been reached :).

I look forward to sitting and chatting with you sometime.

Spero ci vediamo a presto [I hope we see eacother soon]

Grazie tanto,
