Art of Maps - Inferno Art Open Studio


  Inferno Art Studio is proud to announce its first open studio show featuring the "Art of Maps". The show will open in December 16th with private showings available upon appointment. This series was inspired by my love of travel and adventure. I spend many hours fondly pouring over maps in search of the unbeaten path. Reading maps for me is as intoxicating as diving into an epic novel or expertly written screen play. Creating a map is intricate with tons of small details and all sorts of elements to explore. From filigree to ships and compasses to elaborate labels the art or of the maps offers so much to explore that parallels my addiction of travel.
  The series includes 9 two dimensional works of art to include 5 oil paintings and 4 ink and stain pieces. The hand drawn/ painted maps feature world, country, regional and historical subject matters. All the works are embellished and themed based on historic map illustration technique and traditions. The images within the maps tell their own stories and emphasize diverse characters from Pagan gods of the Vikings, to the creatures of the Odyssey and especially the nautical traditional images that inspire a vast quantity of tattoo art today.
  This is an Open Studio show and I work from a studio that I have arranged in my home. During the remodel of the house, we purchase earlier this year, my amazing husband, an electrician, installed gallery lighting throughout the house as a unexpected gift. The lighting combined with the modern clean lines made our home a perfect set for showing and essentuating the art. It brought working from home to a whole new exiting level and relieving me of the burden of procuring space to display my passion.
  I would love if you would mark your calendars and come partake in the excitement of this milestone. As always thank you for viewing.

Flight Cancleled.... Buffering... Buffering

They always say if everything goes right there is no real story to tell. Our experience could have been we got on the plane, Got onto our connecting flight with a ton of leg room that we paid for, and were taken to our hotel in a timely fashion so we could enjoy our 3 day tour of the Golden Triangle. That was not the case...not at all...holy guacamole I wish I could say it was even close. So Charlie and I did check into our flight with ease and we made it to Newark, now it was 45 minutes delayed in flight but not nearly delayed enough to miss our second flight. In fact we had time to enjoy Giant meatballs and Calamari before boarding the long leg of our journey. With ease we boarded and sat in our exit row with triple leg room and space to breath. Well there we sat... and we sat... and then we sat some more. The plane had a mechanical issue and they were trying to fix the system, I believe it was to get the in flight entertainment working. I had books and an iPad... screw it

Dirt Roads and Mountain Air

Image
My first experience on the off Road I would like to start off by saying me and dirt roads have never gotten along overly well. Somehow, I always seem to end up with the rubber not where it belongs, but like most things in my life if it causes me fear or anxiety I run straight toward it. So naturally I purchased an Africa Twin, a bike made for the off road. What I didn’t purchase though was a set of off road tires, so you get some of the things you need like suspension and breaking power, but not max traction that you would want on a one land road covered in boulders. Now to most adventure riders this road would seem rather basic but for me it was my first test of trust with amazing machine. At first the road was what I remembered it being, which was a gravel road leading to some hiking trails near Eldora, CO. It’s started getting rocky with some tight corners and what you would expect from a mountain road which was drop off on one side, hill on the other. There were several ve

Joey and the Chopper Boys - Jack Schit

"Joey and the Chopper Boys - Page 25" Throughout this children's book there has been many small and important details added to show my appreciation to the people I have met and who have inspired me along this journey.  On page 25, during the culminating event of the book, Joey is presented with the  "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD"!  Who better to present this award than the Legendary Jack Schit himself.  Jack can be found at motorcycle events all over the country bringing life and animation to any biker event. I am happy to have shared many good times with this man and thrilled to be able to include his presence in this children's chopper experience. "Right then, so loud the entire neighborhood could hear, the emcee blasted to the crowds that it was time to announce the "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD".  Joey remained quiet and calm as she hoped with all her might that all the work she did to her bike would be well received.
