The LA Arts & Culture Weekly Review

Throughout history, societies and communities that embraced the arts often found themselves at the forefront of social and political change – decades ahead of those that have discouraged or diminished the role of the arts in their societies.  Our rich history of social and political progress is due in no small part to the active and courageous artistic community that calls Southern California home. We hope that by highlighting the rising stars of our local art community on a weekly basis, we can help increase our community’s engagement with local art and the artists that devote their life to moving society forward.

New sculpture in progress. Working here with a darker clay. #ballerina #sculptures #sculptor #rebeccamolayemgallery #clayworks #portrait #figureinclay #contemporaryart #laartist #artinla #stylizedart #sculptingworkshops #handbuildingwithclay

Over a month ago the sweetest little puppy came home with us 🐾. We named her Luby lu. I tried to capture some of her personality in this painting.➡️ Swipe along to see some close-ups and a snippet of our puppy’s first day with us. She was nuzzling grass and looking for cuddles. . . #frisket #windsorandnewtongouache #dogsofinstagram #corgi #corgipuppy #illustration #childrensillustration #gouache #austintx #puppy #artistsoninstagram #arthabit #painting #summer #Lubylu

Doing some resin work tonight so it can cure 32 hours. Everyone has their own method to the madness when layering resin for clear perfection. Flame thrower is to pop bubbles out of the resin and I use a portable light to make sure I see the bubbles. Come through this weekend 8/17-8/19 to see amazing artwork @artistscornergallery in Hollywood.
