The Artists’ Pool

A lifelong creative, and now a self-taught painter, Pamela’s expressive and intuitive abstract work is a translation of all that surrounds her; the nature of the New Hampshire Seacoast area where she grew up and lives, and the small moments that make life beautiful. The forms, lines, textures,and colors in her work may evoke Sunset Meadows (across from her home studio, the mystery of the North Atlantic, or the laughter, love and joie de vivre that linger and are woven into every layer.

From Kimberly Grigg Designs: “I grew up in a small southern town called Graniteville “on the other side of the tracks.” But, I always aspired to the good life and knowing what luxurious beautiful homes were all about. So, one day, I climbed a fence to attend a debutante party (that I wasn’t invited to!) just so I could get a peak at my all time favorite “wealthy” home atop the hill on the “right side of town!” It was then my love of interior design was born. In my spare time I can be found painting every morning, binging on Netflix, enjoying my kids and grandkids, cooking up a storm, walking my giant standard poodles Ivan and Alfred and shaking it down 4 days a week at my local boot camp.” https://www.kimberlygriggdesigns.com You can find her Kimberly’s art here: https://kimberlygriggart.myshopify.com

From Cari Ray’s website: When I was in preschool, my favorite time of day was when I was allowed to draw and paint. As I got older and life got busier, I lost my connection to the arts. At the age of 51, I decided to try and rekindle our love affair. Enter Cari Ray Paints. My true passion. My soul fulfilling 'hobby'. I hope you'll enjoy it with me. Take my online course - Amateur to Earning Artist in 60 Days to do your own original paintings and make MONEY! I use many different mediums, such as gouache, acrylics, inks, markers and pastels. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style. Take my online course - Amateur to Earning Artist in 60 Days to do your own original paintings and earn extra income! I enjoy the beauty and simplicity of things in my every day life. Things that bring me joy and spark positivity when I see them. Beautiful skies, a nice view from a window (or a patio if the weather cooperates), bright colors in clothing or designs in my home just to name a few. All of my pieces are directly influenced by these things and so much more. I love creating things with bold and vibrant colors that evoke feelings of joy and light.
