Meran niCuill Fascinated by nature and science, Meran ni Cuill attempts daily to

translate her passions into art. Sometimes she feels she even succeeds! And then

something else will catch her attention and off she’ll go! Chasing another ideal.

Meran enjoys gardening, sunsets, dogs, birds, and just about anything as long

as it’s not endless crowds of people. When those present, she’ll retreat to a quiet

Letter from the ArtTrader Team

ThanksforyoupatienceinwaitingfortheWinter2011issuetoinallyappear

on the website! We’ve all been very busy over the holiday season with art

shows, graduate studies and various work related projects. We had to play

catch-up with our pet project, ArtTrader.

Our next issue will be packed with lots of wonderful “how-to” articles and

plenty of ATC galleries - a feast for the eyes. We will also be holding a new

contest in the Spring 2011 issue, this time with a theme of “The Sea” so

anything aquatic goes! Details coming to the website soon.

We also want to talk this time to say Happy New Year to all of our readers!

We hope you have a very artistic 2011 and create many beautiful pieces that

you can share and perhaps even trade (come visit us on ATCsForAll.com).

Andrea Melione,

Lead Graphics

What’s your Art fuel?

By Andrea Melione

I love it when ideas come to me out of nowhere. Sometimes I get them during that odd period

before getting out of bed, when I’m neither awake nor sleeping. I try to keep a note book handy

to jot down the results of this dream /wake period, but for some reason, writing them or telling

someone about them makes them lose their potency; as if I have given away something that

wasn’t fully formed and therefore wisps away like smoke.

Most of the time though, my ideas come from current obsessions, topics, art genres, or themes

thatIindinterestingandwhichoccupymythoughtsmorethanusual.Ilookeduptheword

“obsession”atMerriam-Websteranditisdeinedas“apersistentdisturbingpreoccupationwith

an often unreasonable idea or feeling; broadly : compelling motivation.” This, to me, sounded

like a rather negative view of something that I use in a very positive way as a fuel for my art and

creative thinking. Perhaps “obsession” is not the correct word to use in my case, but I’m at a loss

to describe the short-lived but strong feelings and preoccupations any other way.

My current obsessions this past month have been classical music, the artwork of Klimt, and

zentangles. Classical music isn’t the easiest thing to listen to. You have to be able to concentrate,

or at least be familiar with the piece to enjoy it. And let’s face it, some classical music is pretty

boring. I’ve managed to collect a few good pieces I enjoy however and listen to them while I

work. Two particular favorites are Bach’s Violin concerto in D minor, and Beethoven’s Symphony

No. 6 in F, Op. 68 – “Pastorale,” 1st movement.
