Studies vs Copies What’s the Difference? Studies vs copies. What do I mean by this? Well, if you’ve ever been to art school, chances are you’ve had to do master study or two. A master study is when you take a work done from one of the great masters (Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Monet, DaVinci, etc.) and […]
Art Therapy Can It Really Help? Art therapy? Just what is it? Is it a real, acknowledged form of psychiatry or more fluff science? Back in May of this year, I covered the topic of art and its ties to brain health. Not only is art beneficial to the average person’s brain health, it is […]
Can You Tell Which Art is More Expensive? Cheap Art vs Expensive Art I will admit to being completely blown away by how art is priced and valued, and as such, I generally cannot tell which art is more expensive. As I was scrolling through YouTube the other day, I came across this BuzzFeed video […]
Pointillism A Test in Patience One of the first projects I had to work on as a brand new art student was a pointillism project. What’s pointillism, you ask? My answer to you would be a rather sarcastic, “A test in patience!” Let me explain. Pointillism is a technique and art movement which began in […]

I’ve commissioned two pieces from her to hang in the lobby of the building where I work. Each piece was completed flawlessly and within the time frame given. I love Myra’s art so much I wish she’d pick up a tattoo gun and put some on me, permanently.
