Irene Salley's Studio
One of the luxuries of blogging is that I enjoy a freedom of the press not enjoyed by most of those in the print world. You won’t find my blog filled with scathing reviews and angry rants. I choose instead to exercise my freedoms by writing about only positive things.
It is true that in my photography work I am often given a great deal of creative freedom by my clients, who tend to entrust their projects largely to my artistic vision. That is a rare honor, but blogging affords me even greater creative freedom on the side to showcase people I believe in, causes I support, and places which I enjoy frequenting and want to share with my readers. There are few elements of life more important than having good friends, and I am on a perpetual search around the world for such friends – one can never have too many.
Irene Salley
I’ve found a good friend in artist Irene Salley, an incredible French post-impressionist painter. We share in common an island heritage; Irene was born on the island of Guadeloupe, a French overseas territory in the eastern Caribbean Sea.
Whatever one’s taste in art, everyone can agree that what makes good art is passion. Energy. Joie de vivre. Some artists attempt to ride trends, hoping to make a quick buck off of the gullible, but true art can only come from the heart. What I love about Irene Salley’s work is the incredible color, the evident passion and life that radiates from the bright strokes across the canvas. Her paintings brighten any room and it is no wonder that she has found enormous success among the interior design community.
