Claire Desjardins - Artist Of The Week - October 2, 2018

You never know what will draw you to an artist.  Most of the artists that I've featured have been what the art world calls​ representational artists. To me, that means that you can recognize the images in artwork they produce. It represents a person, a rock, a plant, a landscape...

Claire Desjardins is not a "representational artist," her work is purely abstract. 

She says,  "my paintings make people happy, and that's a nice thing to make people happy."  

I'm not always a fan of abstract art but this artist produces work that I like.  Claire's work expresses her passion and the expertise. Claire calls the process that she uses "intuitive". I think that means she "goes with the flow".  She discovers what the paint does in the process and reacts to how that turns out. It's something you can feel.

I like the colorful nature of Claire's paintings, and it doesn't hurt she's from Montreal! Claire lives about an hour north of Montreal in the most sublime setting. This little video will give you an idea where she lives and how she works. ​

Making money as an artist is an art all in itself. The way artists sell is changing all the time, and you have to keep up with the times. Claire sells her art online in multiple physical places like art shows and galleries. I like how she embraces social media in what I feel is an authentic way. 

It's not all about selling your physical artwork though; there are other ways to profit from your artwork. Claire has partnered with the likes of Urban Outfitters' URBN - Anthropologie, and Microsoft Surface. She is now in the process of launching her first clothing line. The bright colors and abstract shapes make her clothes light up. 

She will soon be showing her work at "The Other Art Fair" in Brooklyn, New York   November 8th-11th. If you're in the neighborhood, you could stop by to see her live and in person.  

I am delighted to introduce you to Claire Desjardins work.

I hope you take the time to visit her on the web. You can find her at:
