watercolors in the 1970s. However, during a visit to Oxford, England while studying medieval art, she experienced an inspirational moment that defined her future to become an artist. After visiting the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Macon, Georgia and looking at the different paintings and potteries that were on display at the museum, two particular pictures caught my attention that was painted by an Artist who is known as Betty Bivins Edwards’.

Also, the medium that was used for her extraordinary painting was acrylic paint on canvas, and the scale of this magnificent piece of art was 78” w x 54” h (Edwards’, 2014). Ms. Edwards’ painting caught my attention because of the beauty she displayed of the city of Macon, in addition to the many shades of acrylic paint that she used in her painting and how she captured the many events that take place in Macon. Also, the different shapes of buildings the artist painted of how the arts saved Macon. Moreover, I believe the message that Ms. Edwards’ conveyed to all those that view her canvas of Macon, Georgia, is the…

me with the painting, and she replied with a very rough tone, “No, I don’t feel like painting right now.” I wasn’t surprised she said no.

I thought maybe I could use a couple of these colors. I…

The painting maintained the original concept to the end, though the process had to be modified…

Process-Analysis Ever since I was young, art has always been my niche, the one thing that truly defines me. Crayons, markers, finger paints, anything I could get a hold of to create something. I started creating and I never stopped, thanks to my encouraging parents and teachers. I did not get what I needed in my early years of school so started learning how to draw and paint on my own. I taught myself every tip, trick, and technique I could; desperately trying to learn how to better myself. I…

surfaces we regularly come across are commonly painted. Despite being surrounded by paint however, it’s an artifact that can be easily overlooked. This relates to Andrew Feenburg, Martin Heidegger and Ed Levine’s beliefs regarding technology and art.
