>Artist Feature ~ Amylee – Paris
>
Tonight I’m featuring an incredible artist who goes by Amylee from Paris France who recently discovered and has now become one of my new favorites. I’ve posted a short bio below as well as contact information, galleries, and even a short video at the end. I’m honored to know such a talented and successful artist as Amylee and to call her my friend. We are connected on several social networking platforms. Enjoy!
Amylee is a French artist who lives and works in Paris. Born in the south of France in 1978, she has studied Applied Arts and Fine Arts. In Paris, she has used her creativity in the area of industrial design, fashion and lifestyle work with various agencies. In 2008 she had her first exhibition and has worked as a professional full-time artist since that time.
Amylee works in many techniques (acrylic paint and patterned collages on canvas). She likes to paint with acrylic because it dries quickly and this allows her to follow her impulses but she also uses patterned paper to dress up her portraits. Interlacing flowers with the bright seventies vibrant colors are impactful and are the trade mark of the artist. She creates her work with great passion and each painting reflects vitality.
Taking inspiration from fashion shows and contemporary patterns, Amylee credits her influences as the Art Deco painters, Klimt, Mucha, French Fauvists and the color range of the Pop artists.
Amylee has already participated in several group and solo exhibitions in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, New York. You can follow her activities on her blog and be sure and take a look at her Artbook.

Tonight I’m posting a portrait commission of Vahid Najafi from Iran who I met on facebook. For some reason this portrait was a difficult one for me. Sometimes they come real easy and fast but this one didn’t so much. The original source image is below. I have a couple more Google+ portraits lined up and then I hope to get some more celebrities done for you guys.
I have a lot of irons in the fire at the moment which will result in some cool stuff in the future but for the time being my posts have been limited. I will take this opportunity to share some of my artist friends which I love doing. I will be featuring a remarkable artist and good friend from Paris, Amylee. You don’t want to miss this one it’s a real feast for the eyes.
I have been spending a lot of time lately trying to get more organized and and reduce some of my work load as it relates to the stuff I hate to do like handling emails and notifications. I’m investing in some software which will help me manage my email, notifications and social media, which will free up more time for me to do what I love and get back to doing some celebrity caricatures. I am also looking into some software to record a tutorial which has been requested of me many times. I’m working on it all guys, so please bare with me. I can’t wait until I am able to hire my assistant. That will make my job 100% fun again.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!

A note to my business connections:
I wanted to bring someone to your attention that could be invaluable for your business. Her name is Catherine Monreal and I have utilized her services for research in the past and will be using her in a virtual assistant capacity in the coming year. While I wish I could keep her all to myself, I know that I do not have enough work to sustain her. So, I thought I would tap into my network and introduce her.
Catherine has a much more complete profile on Elance, which can be found here: https://www.elance.com/s/informationinsomniac/ and she is located in California. While this puts her in the Pacific Time Zone she is flexible with her availability to suit your needs. Heck she is always available for me when I need something.
Catherine can work in a variety of capacities: writing, researching, and virtual assisting. She listens well, is a great communicator and can help you organize and formulate your ideas into an action plan. She can be reached at or .
Happy New Year to all!
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!
