have you found what you were looking for?


Here I was, sitting at the computer for the longest time trying to jump out of my comfort zone and find some new artist I've never even heard of, but had to like obviously, and present it.

A Search for a Subject: ( a tangent you have permission to skip, but just a dip into my brain)
Let me tell you, the process was not easy. I liked Nano Lopez for a while, for his usage of organic and industrial looking textures on animals and figures, but after looking at bronze animals and figures for a while, they all seemed to blend together. I felt like I was not getting enough out of it all. Every artist I was clicking on while browsing, nobody was really catching my eye. I tend to gravitate towards bold works and bold colors, lines and curves, like Keith Haring rather than photorealism and "pretty color" landscapes, though some are intriguing. 

Every piece's message kept bringing me back to what Cathy Liu's overall theme of her works are: DO THEY MAKE YOU FEEL HAPPY? Cheesy, I know, but really though. I was really bored of looking at the same crap. 

Then she came along. Like a breath of fresh air..
