Artist of the Day: Hello Little Thailand - Abbie Zuidema

Hello Little Thailand - Abbie Zuidema http://www.etsy.com/shop/abbiejz

I love maps. Love them. I cover canvas, board, any surface with a map to serve as an underdrawing for any painting I'm working on, no matter the subject.

Zuidema's watercolors are charm with an edge.

Check out her paintings on etsy and on the her website.

Artist Bio:
Abbie J. Zuidema received a BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design in '98. She lives & works as an artist in Brooklyn creating intimate watercolor paintings of maps and food for magazines around the country. Her work has been shown nationally in museums and galleries & was most recently published in Jaime Oliver magazine.

Her paintings are meant to be enjoyed, to be life enhancing. Art should be accessible to everyone, to be lived with and shared.
Abbie describes her process on her website: "It is about consumption. I get to look and digest how things are made: the silkiness of the ribbon, the details of lace, and the shininess of packaging. My work is about desire, and the question, what makes us want things. To better understand that human impulse of desire."
