What is Bold Strokes for Art?

Bold Strokes for Art is collaboration by artists and founded by members Laura McCall, Karen Sleigh and Carol Weiss. In their shared belief that the synergy of work by a group can be more intriguing, Bold Strokes for Art has broken with the artistic tradition of art by a single artist.

To create their joint venture works, an original composition is photographed and divided into thirds for each individual artist to paint within their own studios. When finished, the panels are reconnected into a unique work of art of strong colors and skewed perspectives. In this way-the individual variations of the artist's style can be seen up close, but from a step back, it visually blends so that a single work of art evolves.

What is Bold Strokes for Art to us? The word bold to us means being daring, assertive, and working hard for something we believe in. With each bold stroke of paint we are reminded of what it takes to create. We draw more inspiration out of working collectively, as opposed to individually and because we like to share ideas and encourage growth, it generates even more creativity. The structure of our environment develops trust and the ability to communicate with each other throughout the entire process. This collaboration illustrates our passion about painting and meets the need to express our individual perspective in each colorful work of art in a unique and unconventional way.
