Teacher Student

October 5, 2018 by Laraine Armenti, visual artist

It can be a mark of pride in art to be self-taught, to be an Autodidact, Visionary, or Outsider artist. To a degree all artists can claim the title of being self-taught, despite Abe Lincoln's warning that, “He who represents himself has a fool for a client.” Hours lead to years of blind groping for uncertain results that truly place one face to face with oneself. There are also those who believe … [Read more...]

August 14, 2017 by Laraine Armenti, visual artist

Bennington, Vermont continues to inspire me as an artist. This year I returned to Art New England, a Mass College of Art workshop program that convenes on the Bennington College campus each summer. It is a remarkable gift to work every day for two weeks without other responsibilities, far from the madding crowd. The focus yields incremental but essential changes in my work, especially while guided … [Read more...]
